Bus fares in Preston will be capped at £2 for the next three months.All main Lancashire bus operators are taking part in a Department for Transport scheme offering the maximum fare of £2 for any single journey between 1 January and 31 March.
All adult, concession and child single tickets on eligible routes will cost no more than £2, with any single tickets previously cheaper than this remaining the same price.County Councillor Rupert Swarbrick, cabinet member for highways and transport at Lancashire County Council, said: “This new government initiative will help people at a time where money needs to stretch further and at the same time aims to reduce car use and encourage people onto more sustainable public transport.
“I’d urge people to take advantage of the £2 flat fare promotion which offers a great saving on many of the fares currently in place. “This initiative will help to support our Bus Service Improvement Plan as we start to deliver on our local priorities with Lancashire bus operators and Blackburn with Darwen council in 2023.”
