Ministers announce cut in bus subsidy for over-60 passengers

The Scottish Government has agreed a deal with bus operators to secure the future of the concessionary travel scheme for over-60s and people with disabilities.

Government, Transport Scotland and the bus industry have signed up to new fare reimbursement arrangements which include a phased reduction in the reimbursement rate over the next two years.

Bus operators receive money from the Government to cover the costs of its concessionary travel policy.
