The ‘Get Around for £2’ scheme has meant local people can enjoy the countryside, visit our high streets and get to work in our part of Devon whilst saving on travel costs.
That’s why I've warmly welcomed the announcement that this Conservative government is extending the discount until the 31st of December 2024.
After successfully working with them to reinstate additional bus services on local routes including the number 9, 44 and 57 serving East Devon, I recently discussed the success of this £2 bus fare cap scheme with Peter Knight, Managing Director, and Peter Stephen, Head of Policy, from Stagecoach South West.
By backing our buses and cutting costs for passengers, we’re giving people a better deal on their public transport.
