Weekly bus tickets to be capped - but fare will rise

WEEKLY tickets for all buses in Greater Manchester are set to be capped at £21 for adults and £10.50 for children in the new year higher than the fare is now.

If bus operators agree to it, the new cap will come into force from January.

This cap, which is 40p higher than the current cost of a 7 Day AnyBus ticket, would prevent the price of the multi-operator weekly fares increasing further.

It comes after caps on single fares and all-day tickets were introduced across the city-region in September, but the price of some weekly passes increased.
