Oh dear here we go. At least they have made some cuts to the extra perks. Looks like a cliff edge again. That despite millions for what seems ro be an airport feasibility study. I wonder if things will get sorted at the last minute again?

It has been announced that the child and 16-18 fare is to increase from 80p to £1 and the Zoom Beyond scheme for 18-21 year olds is to come to an end, from 1 November. The child fare hadn't increased since 2016 and Zoom Beyond was a mayoral initiative introduced as a trial a couple of years ago.

The money saved is to help keep funding tendered bus services.
