Did you hear the news that all bus fares in England will be capped at £2 from October?
While in Germany, passengers can use any public transport for just €9 a month. And in Ireland all fares have been slashed by 20% to help address the cost of living crisis and cut carbon.
Meanwhile in the Glasgow region we are stuck with some of the most expensive fares in the UK! A single on privatised First buses is now £2.65 and much more if you need to travel further outside the city.
Make you angry?
Then please ensure you sign and share our petition and join our Fair Fares Now events this summer (see details below).
