A regional bus fare cap pilot has been announced for the Highlands and islands with a £10 million investment.
The pilot was a commitment made in the 2025/26 Scottish budget and aims to make bus travel more affordable and accessible for communities across the region.
The Scottish Government will work jointly with regional transport partnerships HiTrans and ZetTrans to deliver the pilot in the Highlands, Moray, and Argyll and Bute, and the Western Isles, Orkney and Shetland.
Transport Secretary Fiona Hyslop said: “Scotland’s public transport system is a key enabler for growth and opportunity, helping people and communities to connect to jobs, education, retail, public services, leisure, social and family networks.
“I am pleased to confirm the establishment of the bus fare cap pilot, another way in which we can help people to make positive and proactive travel choice to use bus and address affordability issues.
“I very much look forward to working with HiTrans and ZetTrans, and relevant bus operators within these areas, to progress the launch of the pilot and make bus travel more affordable, improve access for low-income communities, and support sustainable travel for people across those regions.”
