Transport secretary affirms bus fare cap funding
UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham's government announced a £2 cap on single bus fares in England from January, funded by £454 million mainly derived from reallocating investment in climate finance and departmental savings. The government also plans to cut VAT on household electricity bills, funded by canceling the digital ID scheme, though critics question the funding sources. Official assurances claim policies are fully funded, but some opposition figures remain skeptical about the government's fiscal plans.
