Swinney slashes 103 miles, 4 hour, Wick to Inverness bus fare from £31 to only £2! Is this big news? Well, not really, it seems

No MSM coverage at all and Northern Scot tries to suggest that Moray Council are paying for a Scottish Government-funded scheme!

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.

  1. The hapless Johan Lamont would have decried this as “pandering to the ‘something for nothing society’”

  2. Well wotasurprise this isn’t. The MSM ignores any positive development from an SNP government. I wonder why they wonder why their circulation has fallen so much over the years.
