NEW plans have been agreed to transform public transport which could see bus fare costs capped and free travel brought in for youngsters.
South Yorkshire Mayor and Barnsley Central MP Dan Jarvis, alongside South Yorkshire leaders, agreed the plans.
He said: “We’ve invested millions to improve our public transport system and set out transformational plans that give us more control over how buses are run and promise passengers a better service.
“That includes capping fares, free travel for young people, quicker journeys, more journey options, and zero emission buses to make travel cleaner and greener towards a net-zero future.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
