Letchworth bus users are encouraged to 'Hop Around for £2' this spring as the £2 bus fare cap is extended to the summer. 

Passengers can continue to get on the bus for £2 as fare cap is extended until 30 June 

Almost a third off bus tickets as Government invests up to £75 million to provide discounted and sustainable travel for another three months 

The cap is available across 5,000+ routes from over 140 operators, with passengers encouraged to use discounted bus tickets

The fare cap means passengers can save on single bus tickets, helping them travel more affordably to education, work and medical appointments.

The offer will apply to more than 5,000 routes in England from over 140 operators - including Letchworth and North Herts.

With the average single local bus ticket costing £2.80, passengers can save almost a third of the ticket price and over 75% on some of the longest trips. 

The scheme, which began in January this year, has already seen an uptick in passenger numbers. This extension will continue to encourage greater bus use and is expected to take up to four million cars off the road, supporting ambitions for greener journeys by minimising pollution and tackling congestion across the country. 

Roads Minister Richard Holden said: "Bus travel should be accessible and affordable for everyone. We know that people are struggling with rising costs, which is why we're extending the £2 bus fare cap and continuing to put money back into passengers' pockets."
