Cheap bus fair

First Minister rolls-out £2 fare cap on bus travel.

People across the Highlands and Islands can now benefit from more affordable public transport as £2 capped bus fares are rolled out this month. The pilot will significantly reduce fares across the Highland network and forms part of wider Scottish Government measures to support households hit by rising everyday costs.

Examples of fare reduction include:
Wick to Inverness –£31, reduced to £2
Elgin to Inverness -£15.60, reduced to £2.

First Minister John Swinney announced the rollout during a visit to Inverness Bus Station as part of Scottish Apprenticeship Week.
Mr Swinney said: “This is just one measure we are taking to help people with the rising cost of living, including scrapping peak rail fares to help commuters, and continuing to provide free bus travel for under-22s, over-60s and disabled people.”
