Weekly bus ticket prices to rise in Greater Manchester in January - but by less than expected
Weekly tickets for all buses in Greater Manchester are set to increase in price from January – but by less than they would have thanks to a new cap on fares. The weekly fare, which includes the 7 day AnyBus ticket valid on all services, will be capped at £21 for adults and £10.50 for children in the new year.
Bus operators have also agreed to the introduction of the weekly fare cap which the Greater Manchester Combined Authority will subsidise. It comes after single fares and daily passes were capped in September, cutting ticket costs for adults to £2 and £5 respectively and half the price for children.Speaking at a GMCA meeting on Friday , Mr Burnham said the new fares have been successful so far, leading to an increase in passengers.
