Original Note:
The last Conservative government funded the Bus Fare Cap of £2 until the end of 2024 using £150 million of redirected HS2 money. It also included a commitment in its 2024 General Election manifesto to extend it until 2029 using savings generated by reform of the railways. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/major-150-million-funding-boost-for-local-bus-services-as-fare-cap-set-to-be-extended https://public.conservatives.com/static/documents/GE2024/Conservative-Manifesto-GE2024.pdf
