A new £2 bus journey scheme is set to start on 1 January.
The Get Around for £2 scheme will be in place from January to March next year. Bus operators launched a promotion campaign today.
The scheme is funded by £60 million of government investment, and will cap single journeys at £2 across England and outside of London.
The scheme is intended to encourage more commuters to take the bus and reduce emissions and congestion.
130 bus operators will be involved in the scheme.
Buses Minister Richard Holden said: "Brits love buses. They’re the most popular form of public transport in England, making up half of all journeys. So we’re investing £60 million to cap single bus fares at £2 to help families, students and commuters and help get people back on the bus.
"The scheme will also take 2 million car journeys off the road and it’s fantastic to see so many bus operators signing up. So, if you’re in Carlisle or Weston-Super-Mare, Birmingham or Doncaster, make sure you hop on the bus and ‘Get Around for £2’ between 1 January and 31 March."
