Summary
Starting next month, every child aged five to fifteen in England will ride the bus for free — a summer initiative running through August to help families save money on day trips to parks and museums. Building on earlier policies, this move aims to ease financial pressure and boost community access, with early signs suggesting it could become a permanent program. Alongside this, adult fares are capped at three pounds until March 2027, rail fares are frozen, and a £3 billion investment is boosting bus services nationwide — all designed to make travel more affordable, connect communities, and support those facing cost-of-living struggles.
