Fare cap will be a helping hand

As we head into winter, I know just how many people are worrying about feeding their families, heating their homes, and affording the very day-to-day basics as the cost of living continues to spiral.

Public transport is part of the solution – that’s why we’re introducing the £2 fare cap early here in South Yorkshire.

While the government’s temporary fare cap is welcome, it doesn’t go far enough to support the thousands of people in our region who rely on our bus network.

Alongside the Zoom Beyond fares at just

80p for young people, we now have some of the best public transport fares in the country.

We have a broken public transport network here in South Yorkshire but bit by bit we’re making things better for the travelling public.

This is just another step on that journey.
