Save our buses

The £2 fare cap has been extended and a further £80m has been made available to support critical bus services in England!

Extend the covid bus recovery grant - or replace it with a new source of funding - and ensure thousands of bus routes aren't scrapped.

Why is this important?

15% of bus services could be scrapped due to a funding shortfall when the Government’s recovery grant introduced to keep buses running after the pandemic comes to an end.

Buses are the most popular mode of transport in England. People rely on buses to get to work, school, hospital appointments and more. But with bus routes and services set to be scrapped, it could leave millions of people feeling isolated and unable to travel in and around their local area and beyond.

Together we need to demand the Government takes action to protect these vital bus routes and make sure England can stay connected.
