UK - The UK government has pledged GBP5bn to be spent on bus services and to encourage cycling over the next five years, which includes the introduction of at least 4,000 new zero emission buses. The pledge is to encourage greener travel, to make it the convenient option and to help drive the country to achieve its net zero carbon ambitions by 2050.
The Department for Transport said details of this programme would be announced in the National Bus Strategy, which is to be published later this year at the Comprehensive Spending Review.
