The UK government has announced a nearly £1bn funding boost for bus services across England, aimed at improving accessibility and frequency. Allocated based on need and population, the investment includes £712m for local authorities and £243m for bus operators. Areas like Leicester, the Isle of Wight, and Cambridgeshire will benefit significantly. Transport Secretary Louise Haigh emphasized the importance of reliable and affordable bus services for communities, which will enhance public transport options in urban and rural areas alike.
