In his first visit since becoming Prime Minister, this morning Andy Burnham joined the West of England’s Mayor at the First Bus depot in Bath.

Welcoming the £2 bus fare cap announced today, Helen Godwin, Mayor of the West of England, said:

“It was brilliant to welcome our new Prime Minister to Bath so early in his premiership, and to show off some of our new green buses. It was even better to hear that the £2 bus fare cap will be reintroduced for adult journeys!

“This is really welcome news for passengers across the West Country, building on money-saving initiatives like Kids Go Free – which is rolling out nationally this August following our successful regional pilot over the last year.”
