| Comment | Scotland's Fair Fares Review, which was set up in 2021, is set to report its recommendations soon. I think this summer, though not certain.
We've been overtaken by the UK Government acting quickly to provide higher bus subsidies for a £2 fare cap in 2022, which has since been extended for another year. They acted without a review of this type. But it should be known there has been a medium term policy in the works to look at subsidising fare caps in Scotland. It just seems that action won't be taken until the review reports back with its recommendations.
I strongly suspect we'll end up with a situation very similar to England by the end of this year, with single fares capped at around £2. |
