£2 cap for many bus fares in England expected to save 2m car journeys

Campaigners welcome DfT's temporary 60m subsidy to cut emissions and congestion, but say it should go further

Bus fares in many places across England will be capped at 2 for the winter under a government-backed campaign to encourage people back on to public transport.

Single fares on most major operators' services will be limited from January until March under the scheme.
