Wrong to raise £2 cap on bus fares? Feat. Albia Amankona & Marina Purkiss | Jeremy Vine

[@willieckaslike]

To the Brits, Public Transport is over priced, & not enough buses etc. Particularly in Rural Areas where it is most needed. But to immigrants it's free. How's that for a kick in the teeth.

[@mrwahibtahri]

Yes it is 1.75 single fare in london but Few bus company did not do the 2 pound bus fair cap for some reason I do not know. There buses from outside of London that come into London. In Kingston in London I can get a Falcon bus and pay two pounds for single fare but if I get the white bus in Kingston I pay between 3.50 and 7 pound single fare depending how fare I am going. In Sutton in london you can get the 420 bus to Crawley but it 2 pound from Sutton to Redhill on it but if your going further on the bus it more as the 420 bus goes threw Gatwick were the airport is to get to Crawley. In Heathrow air port bus starion you can get many buses from outside of London from there like 102 Carousel bus to High Wycombe it goes threw uxbridge to get to High Wycombe. You can also get the 101 and 104 Carousel bus from Uxbridge to High Wycombe. It cost 2 pound single fare on the Carousel bus. You can get the 724 first bus from Heathrow bus station to Harlow and it 2 pound single fare on it. That bus goes threw uxbridge then watford to get to Harlow. There are many more buses from outside of London that come into London Owner of the white bus decided not to do the 2 pound bus cap. Also some people pay more for monthly buses and single fare as some use two buses from same bus company a month's and some use two buses from two different bus companies and Labour know this so should of made the monthly and weekly bus pass universal I know three people in Guildford they all work 4 days a week Monday to Thursday and do things on Friday and Saturday. 2 of them use three buses from same bus company so pay only monthly pass. The other person uses 3 buses 2 from same bus company and one from different bus company so he buy a monthly buses pass for those two buses and pay single fare for the other bus and it not fare on him that why Labour should of made the weekly and monthly bus pass universal But Labour did not so there doing the wrong thing with both the bus cap and weekly and monthly bus pass Labour should of keep the cap at 2 pound or put it to 1.50 instead of putting it at 3 pound because according to many people even with this problem they can afford to do it. Sir Kiet steamer very sneaky he want to get tax from people he classes as working people in other way without it being from your monthly salary and with the bus cap going up to 3 pounds that one of the other way he getting tax from those people

If People are mad over a £1 increase I dread to think how upset they are over a 70 year high tax with Their housing and workers rights eroded over the years. all while eating out of areas full of mass foodbanks and charity shops

It disgusting

[@Barbarapape]

Buying a one way plane ticket to anywhere is geting more tempting everyday. As usual this will hit those with the lowest income the hardest. They increase the minimum wage, then take a chunk of it back again. Just the same as the pensioners, they increase the state pension, then stop the WFP thanks for nothing.

[@stephenreeve6732]

This is stupid, where I live before the £2 cap it was £1.40 , the only people who benefits out of this is those who had to pay more than £2 or when it goes up those who paid more than £3. For short journeys who before paid a short journey price are going to have a massive increase in their travel costs. I'm saying journeys costing less than £2. The most who are going to be hit, are those on lower income wages.

[@ianbird7444]

in London the Cap is £1.75 its not fair for those who live in the countryside Labour showing there true colours first the winter fuel now the bus cap ... next it will be the tax on fuel them and us again

Absolutely wrong. We should be encouraging people to use public transport as much as possible.

Perhaps they can shave a Billion off their 'giant carbon hole in the ground' 22 billy budget. Pretty sure we could radically improve bus services nationwide with that sort of investment.

the cap is brilliant it realy makes people use public vs private transport. and gives the poor a way to travel.. i would like not to change it. yes 2 to 3 pounds is a big jump of 50% that is not huge.. to the presenter. 4 pounds a return trip vs 6.. when your in the minus due to inadequate payments from u.c. that do not cover anywhere near basic bills let alone food... we need all the help we can get. im disabled following a workplace injury... i cant even afford the 2 pounds to get on a bus forcing me to walk depite my injuries. that 2 pounds can go a long way towards survival using part pay food banks. something im being forced to use to survive. get a job? i work from home... its not enough and i have to rely on u.c. the gov paying me back what they took when i was in work. im falling in to debt because the government is not fully keeping its promises. after years of taking from you do not expect these con artists to honor the deal but to squirm out of paying at every opportunity. brother if i was paid right i would grow off u.c. instead im 24 7 as a narcosistic abuse survivor. putting up with the abuse again but this time from the government. i spend every day trying to survive... not trying to work. no time for that after going around food banks and everything else needed to survive.. i should have been off u.c. months ago... but in truth ill never escape.

The woman that called from Manchester didn't realise Manchester isn't raising the cap it will still be £2 till at least the end of 2025. People complaining should speak to their councils about bringing their buses back under public ownership then there wouldn't be a need to raise the cap as you're not paying the overheads their obscene bonuses.

In Kingston in London I can get a Falcon bus and pay two pounds for single fare but if I get the white bus in Kingston I pay between 3.50 and 7 pound single fare depending how fare I am going. In Sutton in london you can get the 420 bus to Crawley but it 2 pound from Sutton to Redhill on it but if your going further on the bus it more as the 420 bus goes threw Gatwick were the airport is to get to Crawley.

When you look at the cost of running a car £6 a day is nothing, with the cost of petrol, road tax, insurance, MOT, repairs, plus parking charges, the motorist have been targeted by governments after governments so bus user will still be paying less than they were before the £2 charge.

In my area, we can get a 'Day Rider' for £6 which allows you to travel on buses all day long, I work nights and have to get 2 buses to get to work which will now cost me £6, I was paying this before the world went silly due to the war in Ukraine which is to blame for all this, with the rise to £3 I am now paying what I was paying before so I'm not saving anything anymore and doesn't benefit me and will now cost me the same as it did before the only plus is the price technically hasn't gone up!

[@beljim]

The biggest issue with the cap is it's absolute. So if I want to go one stop it will cost me £3. If I go 20 miles it will also only cost £3. Where's the logic in that? A cap means you pay no more than the cap which helps for long journeys but the bus companies have done away with the short hops or any other lower journey fares to compensate. So it's madness for short hop journeys into local town etc for shopping trips.
