    Bus routes not included in the fare cap

    Participation in the bus fare cap scheme is voluntary and some bus companies have chosen not to take part. If your local company is not included in the list, they may have other types of tickets that are suitable for your needs.

    Some types of routes are not covered by this scheme so they are not included, for example, coach services, school-only services or airport services.

    Fares are already capped in the following areas, so they are not included in this scheme:

    • London
    • Greater Manchester
    • West Yorkshire
