Summary
A two-dollar bus fare cap is set to roll out across most of the UK, including Scotland, but Edinburgh’s residents are being left out — sparking outrage from the Liberal Democrats who call them the “forgotten twelve percent.” They argue that city dwellers in Glasgow, Manchester, and London get this relief, so why not Edinburgh? Thousands rely on buses daily for work and school, and deserve the same affordability. Transport Scotland insists the cap will eventually include Edinburgh, citing a successful Highlands pilot and pledging nationwide rollout by the end of the parliamentary term.
