The new weekly ticket cap would come into force in January
Weekly tickets for all buses in Greater Manchester are set to be capped at £21 for adults and £10.50 for children in the new year – higher than the fare is now. If bus operators agree to it, the new cap will come into force from January.
READ MORE: 'I just sleep with a jacket to keep warm and woke up with no pants on this morning - it was freezing' Capping single fares and daily tickets is estimated to cost £68m which will be covered by the government's Bus Services Improvement Plan grant. However, introducing a cap on day tickets actually brought the price down meaning that more money had to be spent initially to subsidise these fares.
