Lovely. When? There are still loads of expensive uncapped bus services in England. Any plans to finish the last change, or just keep starting more changes and worsen regional inequalities?

    The bus fare cap is a voluntary scheme. The only way to force it through would be through… another big change to the sector.

    Yes, the sector needs big change. Bus companies are not delivering service to many places. Public transport should be a basic public service, not a competition between battling bus companies.

    Tap and go has been super nice in South Wales. It makes things so much easier and cheaper too. My only fear with this announcement is that it doesn't sound like it covers too large of an area so it could be that you still have to get tickets if you are traveling between local cities. This ideally needs to be on a national level, but I doubt that would happen considering how fragmented our public transport system is.
