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.”
