Statistics on local bus fares in Great Britain.

The local bus fares index decreased by 1.8% in England between June 2022 and June 2023. This likely reflects the £2 fare cap that came into effect in England outside London from January 2023.

For other areas, the local bus fares index change was:

  • 6.0% increase in London
  • 3.9% decrease in metropolitan areas
  • 10.8% decrease in non-metropolitan areas
  • 10.3% increase in Scotland
  • 6.3% increase in Wales
