From Cheaper bus travel for Highland communities published yesterday:

People across the Highlands and Islands are set to benefit from more affordable public transport as £2 capped bus fares are rolled out this month.

The pilot will significantly cut fares across the Highland network and is one of a range of measures the Scottish Government is taking to support households hit by rising everyday costs.

Fares such as a single adult journey from Wick to Inverness, currently £31, and a single adult journey from Elgin to Inverness, currently £15.60, would be capped at £2.

Following a successful launch in Shetland and the Western Isles, the pilot will be introduced in Orkney on 9 March and in Highland, Moray, Argyll and Bute from 23 March.

Big news on BBC Scotland, Highlands & Islands?

Nope. £31 down to £2? Not in the public image it seems.
