Statistics on local bus fares in Great Britain.
The local bus fares index increased by 4.3% in England outside London between March 2023 and March 2024. The £2 fare cap for single tickets is still in place, so this increase reflects changes to other fare products (such as season tickets).

- 1.2% increase in London
- 3.6% increase in metropolitan areas
- 4.9% increase in non-metropolitan areas
- 10.8% increase in Scotland
- 3.8% increase in Wales
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased by 3.2% over the same 12-month period.
