Who funds free bus travel?
The government is providing £60 million to local authorities to cover the cost of this expanded free bus travel. This funding ensures bus operators are reimbursed for carrying pass holders, meaning the policy doesn't financially burden local transport services and can continue indefinitely without a set end date.
