When I can I do take advantage of the £2 capped bus fare. It's been an interesting experience as I never really used the buses prior the scheme.
I have no idea why the UK don't follow the Luxembourg, German and Netherlands. Making them very affordable or free with the government subsidising them. In beautiful Luxembourg transport is free.

If there is money for migrants to stay in fancy hotels, Ukraine and and dodgy PPE contracts and easy secretaries. There is money for 'free' or cheap public transport. It won't work in rural areas and remotes places in the sticks but certainly in towns and cities.
