flag UK to invest £3B in England’s buses for lower fares, better service, and modernization.

flag The UK government has pledged £3 billion in funding over several years to improve bus services across England, with local councils receiving funds based on population, mileage, and rurality to ensure fair distribution. flag The investment, part of a broader effort to reverse years of decline, will support lower fares, more frequent and reliable services, and safer bus stops, with councils having flexibility in how they use the money. flag The move follows the extension of the £3 bus fare cap until March 2027 and the implementation of the Bus Services Act, aiming to strengthen public transport, reduce living costs, and modernize services through initiatives like digital ticketing and bus franchising.
