Bus Back Better is a strategy published by the British Department for Transport and transport minister Grant Shapps that covered the government's plans for buses in England outside of London. Initially consisting of ã3 billion of funding, leaked documents suggest that the strategy has been scaled back to only have ã1.4 billion of funding.
In February 2020, the government pledged ã3 billion of funding for buses.
The Bus Back Better document was published on 15 March 2021 and contains a spending plan for the previously announced ã3 billion of funding. It included promises to purchase 4,000 British-built electric or hydrogen buses, integrated ticketing, fare caps, and new bus lanes.
In February 2021, a letter was leaked indicating that the budget had been cut from ã3 billion to ã1.4 billion.
