Commuters in Coventry will now pay £3 for a single bus journey in the city. An increase in fares will come into play from the middle of June. National Express Coventry says the rise, a total
of 10p, is to contribute to network maintenance, particularly in light of the rise in cost - an issue impacting practically everything. In better news, a child's single fair remains
the same at £1.50 and new bundles for repeat use are being rolled out. The increase will be the second this year, after the £2 single bus fare cap was scrapped by the government. The initial
increase saw fares jump from £2 to £2.90 back in January. With the government-set cap of £3, bus companies have opted to charge bus users the maximum they are permitted by law. READ MORE:
