A plan to get more travelers to use Britain's bus network has launched its offer, with hundreds of ffares capped at £2 through the end of March.
Although city fares average £2.80 already, longer routes, especially in rural areas can run quite a bit more, into double digits, making the £2 fare a bigger bargain. The average savings is 30% but can run as high as 87%.
More than 130 bus operators are taking part in the scheme, which has a government subsidy of £60 million behind it. Like other fare concessions offered around Europe in the past year, the program has a double purpose: relief from inflation, and a hope that it will bring the buses a wider long-term audience.
