Passengers across Cambridgeshire will continue to pay no more than £2 for a single bus journey on Stagecoach East services, after the bus operator announced that it has extended its participation in the government’s fare cap to December 2024.
The news comes as results showed the improved level of reliability offered by the bus operator. It tracks its buses to compare how many miles they run in reality compared with how many they should run according to their timetable.
Stagecoach East’s local buses now regularly operate over 99.5 per cent of their scheduled miles each week, it said.
Darren Roe, managing director of Stagecoach East, said: “We are delighted that the £2 scheme for single fares has been extended.
“Roughly 81 per cent of passengers currently buy single tickets so this is a very significant step. The bus already offers outstanding value on travel in our region, and this announcement only makes things better.
“Now is the best time ever to jump on board and make use of the great value, convenient, reliable and environmentally-friendly way to get to work or go out to meet friends and family.”
