Bus routes not included in the fare cap
Participation in the bus fare cap scheme is voluntary, and some bus companies have chosen not to take part. If your local company is not included in the list, they may have other types of ticket which are suitable for your needs.
Some types of routes are not covered by this scheme so they are not included, for example, coach services, school only services or airport services.
Fares are already capped in the following areas, so they are not included in this scheme:
Reporting fraudulent activity
If you think that someone is committing fraud, theft or corruption related to the bus fare cap you can report it by:
- calling the DfT fraud hotline on 07827 843 953
- emailing Counter-FraudBribery@dft.gov.uk
We will deal with your report in confidence.
Other help with transport costs
You can find more information about other kinds of help with transport costs and wider government support.
