💨 Abstract

**Summary:** The UK government extended the £3 bus fare cap, originally set at £2, for another 2 years until March 2027, excluding London and Greater Manchester. This move aims to keep public transport affordable. Additionally, £15 billion is allocated to improve transport in the North and Midlands, but London's major transport upgrades, like the Bakerloo line extension, lack specific funding promises, sparking concerns from Mayor Sadiq Khan's team.
