Details

The local bus fares index decreased by 2.1% % in England between March 2022 and March 2023. This likely reflects the £2 fare cap that came into effect in England outside London from January 2023.

For other areas, the local bus fares index change was:

  • 6.0% increase in London
  • 4.3% decrease in metropolitan areas
  • 11.4% decrease in non-metropolitan areas
  • 1.7% increase in Scotland
  • 3.0% increase in Wales

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased by 10.1% over the same 12-month period.
