Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Bus Fare Cap Rises to £3 Across England Amid New Year Price Hikes
Caption: Bus Fare Cap Rises to £3 Across England Amid New Year Price Hike. From January 1, the cap on bus fares in England has risen to £3, up by £1 from the previous limit. This change, part of new government policy, comes alongside other New Year increases, including higher electricity and gas costs and the removal of VAT exemptions for private school fees. However, not all passengers face the same hike. London, Greater Manchester, and West Yorkshire, led by Labour-run administrations, have kept fares below the national cap. London’s fares remain at £1.75 for an hour, with a daily cap of £5.25. Greater Manchester maintains its £2 fare until 2025, while West Yorkshire will raise its cap to £2.50 in April. Liverpool has extended its £2 limit until September 2025. Where caps are lower than £3, gradual inflation-based adjustments will apply.
