Council may cut bus Covid-19 payments

13 July 2020
 

Luton Borough Council may stop paying bus operators concessionary fares reimbursement at pre-Covid-19 levels because of the council’s own financial problems. 

The DfT has asked all councils in England to pay operators at pre-Covid levels as part of the strategy to keep the bus industry afloat at a time when passenger numbers are a fraction of normal levels. The policy has caused disquiet amongst local authorities who themselves are facing huge losses from Covid-19.
