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.
