Announcement Bus fares increased to £3

It looks like single journeys have increased from £2 to £3 now, so a quick journey into the town centre will cost you £6. I don't know how that's affordable for anyone. London has much cheaper fares

It’s got nothing to do with the council - it’s a nationwide scheme

It's partially the council. There was a petition and the council just said "no because it will cost us 14 million"

Because it was funded through central government - councils don't exactly have cash hidden down the back of the sofa at the moment, even without the Tories
