ALBUM is pleased that there is now more clarity concerning the fare cap scheme, at least for the 14 months until the end of December 2025, which helps customers and bus operators alike.
Retention of the scheme, albeit at a higher price point, will help preserve the growth in the use of many rural and inter-urban bus services that the fare cap scheme has generated during the last 22 months. This benefits rural bus users, local economies, and SME bus operators providing bus services in rural and inter-urban areas.
