Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Tom Blenkinsop (Labour). It was answered by Norman Baker (Liberal Democrat) on Thursday, 19 April 2012 on behalf of the Department for Transport.


Bus Fares

Question
What assessment she has made of recent trends in the level of bus fares in England; and if she will make a statement.
Answer

As I set out in the recent paper ““Green Light for Better Buses””, bus fares outside London fell by 4% in real terms between March 2009 and March 2011—the most recent figures available. Bus fares are set by local bus companies or in some cases by local councils, so they vary across the country.
