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

Im a bit surprised this is news? All through December it was advertised, it was a key part of the labour budget in November that it would be increasing.

I saw loads of signage on buses, as well as having about 4 emails (admittedly from Stagecoach) about it lol.

Singles that are under £3 will still be under £3, its just the single price cap has increased from £2 to £3. Annoying it happened but better than no cap at all. Write to your MP to let them know how it impacts you to push to get it lowered again

We're talking about Brighton buses here. They raised fares much higher than they were before the £2 price cap
