Consultation about possible bus fare increases

Do bus fares need to go up in price?

That's one of the questions being asked in a six-week public consultation launched today.

Infrastructure Minister Tim Crookall says the consultation asks if government should continue subsidising the network to the tune of £8 million a year.

The consultation, which closes on June 30, also asks if altering routes could make them more cost effective.
