英国首相安迪·巴勒姆宣布，从1月起，英格兰全国（伦敦除外）的公交车单程票价将被限制在2英镑1。
这项政策将贯穿整个2027年，由4.54亿英镑资金支持1。其中4亿英镑来自国际气候融资向贷款的转换，其余部分由能源安全部门预算节省补充，总成本预期超过5亿英镑1。资金中还包括用于下放政府采取类似行动的部分1。
巴勒姆表示："好的、负担得起的交通联系是必不可少的。任何人都不应该因为价格而被排除在外"1。财政大臣约翰·希利指出，"数百万人将受益于票价下降三分之一"1。运输部长海迪·亚历山大表示，该举措将使"日常出行更便宜、更容易"1。
这一政策逆转了工党政府2024年的上调票价举措1。
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced a nationwide cap on single bus fares at £2 across England, excluding London, effective from January 1. The measure represents a reversal of fare increases implemented by the Labour government in 2024 1.
The scheme will be supported by £454 million in funding and will remain in place throughout 2027 1. According to government projections, the total cost is expected to exceed £500 million 1. The funding comprises £400 million derived from converting international climate finance into loans, with the remainder sourced from savings within the energy security budget 1. The government has also allocated resources to enable local authorities to pursue similar actions 1.
Chancellor John Hunt stated that "millions of people will benefit from a one-third reduction in fares" 1. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander described the initiative as making "everyday journeys cheaper and easier" 1. The Prime Minister emphasized that "good, affordable transport connections are essential. No one should be excluded because of the price" 1.
