answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/07/2023 answer text <p>The Department for Transport’s interim report evaluating the first month of the £2 bus fare cap found that 10% of survey respondents stated that they were making more bus journeys since the scheme started, and around a third felt that the fare cap had had a positive impact on their cost of living. The report has been published on GOV.UK at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati%20ons/evaluation-of-the-2-bus-fare-cap" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ons/evaluation-of-the-2-bus-fare-cap</a> . A survey conducted by Transport Focus of over 1,000 people also reported that 11% of respondents stated that they were using the bus more as a result of the cap.</p><p>Nationally reducing the fare cap still further would come at a high cost to the taxpayer. It should be noted that TfL have recently increased fares.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North West Durham answering member printed Mr Richard Holden grouped question UIN 192660 question first answered 10/07/2023 15:37:26 answering member 4813 label Biography information for Mr Richard Holden
