The Government has announced how £1 billion in funding will be used to bring London-style buses to cities across the UK as part of a major Budget boost. Transport Secretary Louise Haigh confirmed that £712 million will be allocated to local authorities to improve services, with an additional £243 million for bus operators. Ms Haigh said that the investment aims to end the “complicated and inconsistent” funding models that have affected passengers for years. Report by Covellm.
