Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said he was backing ‘the country’s favourite means of transport’.
Rishi Sunak said he was delivering a “fairer and improved transport system” by putting £150 million into bus services rather than the HS2 high-speed rail project.
The Government has now announced new funding for bus services in the Midlands and northern England in the first stage of a £1 billion investment plan. “This government is taking the right long-term decisions to deliver on our vision for a fairer and improved transport system by investing billions back into the transport projects that matter most to people and their communities.”
