"Keeping public transport options open remains vital to our recovery, backed by investment in 2021-22 of over £1.6 billion across bus and rail services.
"This will ensure a viable alternative to private transport for more people, further reducing our reliance on cars providing a cleaner form of mass transport, in addition to promoting the wide benefits of our 20-minute neighbourhood ambitions.
"We will also deliver a national concessionary travel scheme for free bus travel for under19s in the coming year. And we will continue to support transformational change to our streetscapes with a five-year commitment to maintain the active travel budget at a record high of £100.5 million per year.
