A MAJOR bus operator has joined First Bus and Stagecoach in backing the Scottish Government's new £2 bus fare cap.
McGill's, which operates services across Scotland, has now revealed that it will partake in the optional scheme when it comes into effect on Monday, September 7.
We previously reported that the cap, which was introduced in John Swinney's Programme for Government, is entirely voluntary for bus companies.
A spokesperson for McGill’s Buses said: “We are pleased to confirm that McGill’s will be participating in the £2 bus fare cap scheme for the Strathclyde area recently announced by the First Minister.
“Our focus is now on ensuring the scheme is introduced smoothly on Monday, September 7 and works effectively for passengers on all McGill’s buses operating in the Strathclyde area.
“Full details will be available on the McGill’s and Midland Bluebird websites and mobile apps from Thursday, September 3.”
