Starting January 2027, bus fares across England will cap at two pounds per journey — a move by Prime Minister Andy Burnham to ease the cost of living, backed by £450 million in government funding. But Londoners won’t feel the impact: TfL’s existing £1.75 single fare, in place for over a decade, already beats the new national limit. The policy reverses prior plans and uses redirected savings, not extra taxes, to fund it — aiming to put money back in commuters’ pockets. While London’s Mayor keeps fares frozen until November 2025 and offers weekend unlimited travel deals, campaigners push for even deeper cuts, especially for outer Londoners who depend on buses.
