This move aims to make public transport more affordable and support households struggling with rising living costs. The £2 fare cap was originally introduced by the former Conservative government in January 2023 but was subsequently increased to £3 starting January 2025 under Labour’s prior administration. Burnham is determined to reverse this increase, drawing on his experience as Greater Manchester Mayor, where local bus fares have been capped at £2.
