英国新政府宣布从1月起在英格兰实施公交车单程票价上限政策，将现有票价从£3下调至£2 1。政府称该措施由£454m资金支持 1，其中约£400m来自国际气候融资转换为贷款，其余部分来自能源安全和净零部门预算节省 1。
运输部长Heidi Alexander对政策资金保障表示坚定，声称"我100%确定新政策已完全资金化" 1。
然而，这一资金方案招致政界批评。前内阁大臣Darren Jones质疑政府政策"未获资金支持"，要求政府"必须在预算中说明如何为新政策付款" 1。保守党影子财政大臣Mel Stride也对政策资金来源提出质疑，指出数字身份计划"从未获得资金支持" 1。
The UK government has unveiled a new policy capping single bus fares at £2 across England from January, down from the current £3 ceiling 1. The initiative will be supported by £454 million in funding, according to government statements 1.
Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander expressed confidence in the financing of the measure, stating "I am 100% sure the new policy is fully funded" 1. The government has outlined that approximately £400 million will come from converting international climate finance into loans, with the remainder drawn from budgetary savings in the energy security and net zero sectors 1.
However, the funding arrangement has drawn scrutiny from opposition figures. Former cabinet minister Darren Jones questioned whether the policy is adequately financed, arguing that the government "must clarify in the budget how it will pay for new policies" 1. Conservative shadow Chancellor Mel Stride raised further doubts about the funding structure, noting that the digital identity scheme "was never properly funded," casting doubt on the administration's approach to resource allocation 1.
