Description

This project is being commissioned to continue to monitor and evaluate the Cost of Living £2 Bus Fare Cap for the duration of the latest extension to the policy between April and December 2024. The £2 fare cap policy aims to assist with the cost of living by simplifying and reducing the costs of bus travel and increase patronage on bus services. This project will act as an extension to the current evaluation delivered by Frontier Economics, tracking the key metrics and benefits delivered by the scheme at a reduced scope for the extension period between April and December 2024. This project is intended to: Assess the extent to which the policy continues to meet its aims for the extension period Apr-Dec 24; understand the impact of the policy on bus passengers; capture attitudes of passengers towards ending the cap or increasing the cap after December 2024
