With the cost of living and inflation at an all-time high, government help is available for households on certain means-tested benefits to assist with the expense travel costs. The assistance on hand is listed below.

Commute by bus for £2- (England)

With the help of £60 million in government funding, more than 130 bus companies in England have agreed to freeze single fares at £2 from 1 January to 31 March 2023. People might save nearly a third of the average bus charge outside of London, which is £2.80, while in some rural regions, a single bus ticket can exceed £5. Check the website of your local bus operator for additional information on the £2 limit in your area.

Save 1/3rd on rail journeys

With a railcard, you may save up to a third on train fares in the UK, saving an average of £142 yearly.

50% off travel for Universal Credit recipients

Universal Credit recipients may be eligible for a Jobcentre Plus Travel Discount Card.

Reducing fuel duty

Until March 2023, the fuel duty on gasoline and diesel has been reduced by 5 pence per litre over the entire UK. It saves the typical car driver £100, the average van driver £200, and the average trucker £1,500. At the age of State Pension eligibility in England, a person is eligible for a free bus pass. If you are disabled and live in England, you may be eligible for a disabled person’s pass.
