Stagecoach and Uno bus fares capped to £2

From 1 January (to 31 March) Stagecoach and Uno bus fares will be capped at £2 to provide affordable bus travel to residents.

The Department for Transport led scheme will see all adult single fares capped at £2 and all return fares capped at £4 on bus services operated by participating companies.

Councillor Charles Royden, Portfolio Holder for Environment, said "We know the cost of living pressures are affecting many people and hopefully these discounted fares will help Bedford Borough residents to cut costs as they use buses to get to school, to work and to visit our town and city centres. Swapping car journeys for bus trips also helps to reduce the number of cars in our town and city centres, reducing congestion, cutting emissions and improving the environment. With these discounted fares, I would encourage residents of Bedford Borough to give it a go and get around for £2 this winter."
