SNP GOVERNMENT DELIVER £2 BUS FARE CAP IN GLASGOW

BUS FARE CAP WILL BE A GAME CHANGER TO PEOPLE IN GLASGOW

The Scottish Government £2 bus fare cap will be a “game changer” for Glasgow. It comes as First Minister John Swinney announced the £2 cap will apply to all single journeys across Glasgow, Strathclyde and the West from Monday 7^th of September.

I welcome the measure which will help encourage people in Glasgow to travel on public transport, putting more money in people’s pockets across the area.

This follows the SNP Scottish Government scrapping peak rail fares and expanding free bus travel to under 22s, ensuring more people can take advantage of Scotland’s public transport services for less.

The SNP promised the £2 bus fare cap would be delivered in the election campaign and from next week, people across Strathclyde and the West of Scotland will start accessing reduced cost services.

The SNP promised we’d have a £2 bus fare cap and on Monday folk across Glasgow will have it. Promise made and promise delivered.

From Monday September 7^th single bus fares will be capped at £2 per journey – that will be vital in helping household budgets and encouraging more people to travel by public transport.

People right across Glasgow have an SNP Scottish Government firmly on their side – that’s what you get from John Swinney who is always focussed on the priorities of the people of Scotland.
