Bus journeys in England will be capped at £2 from January to March next year in a bid to ease the rising cost of living, the government has said.
The £60m plan could see some passengers save more than £3 per single bus ticket, according to the Department for Transport (DfT).
Transport secretary Grant Shapps said the move will provide "direct help" to thousands of households.
But Labour said the plan "fails to match the scale of the crisis".
Meanwhile, from Sunday, single bus fares will be capped at £2 in the Greater Manchester and West Yorkshire regions as part of longer-term schemes.
