Nothing like putting the prices up on overcrowded, unreliable & under invested services to really put a smile on peoples faces.

Turn off the light and shut the door on your way out, you massively overprivileged Charlie Uniform November Tango.

London bus fares are not affected by this and remain capped at £1.75. Bus services in Greater Manchester are also funded differently and will remain capped at £2.
