Government announcement on bus fares

Bus fares across the country is to get capped at £2 for a single journey from January. This is amazing news and will help so many people especially those of us who have been paying £3 pound. But I do think London should do this as well as it unfair they will pay less than the rest of the country, as they have done for many years. That way they can make some of the money back.

Let me guess, you are from London

You guess wrong. I'm not from London and generally dislike having to go to London.

I think public transport should be as cheap as possible everywhere, so no I don't see the logic in making it more expensive in London to balance out?
