This is urgent: The £2 cap on bus tickets could be scrapped in the Autumn Budget. [1] This policy has been a lifeline for workers, especially those living in rural areas.

Now we are rallying together to demand that Rachel Reeves does not scrap this policy in the Autumn Budget. Can you quickly add your name now, while there's still time to influence the Chancellor?

Here's what the petition says:
Chancellor Rachel Reeves

Keep the bus fare cap at £2

Here's what the Organise member who started the petition says:
"I am a student of Art University Bournemouth but I live in Salisbury. It takes me about 2 hours to get to my campus to attend classes, because I must take two buses to get there. One from Salisbury to Bournemouth and then from city centre to campus.

Keeping a price cap at £2 allows me to study at all and if it is scrapped I won't be able to continue pursuing my dream career, not to mention I will end up with a massive debt for the rest of my life. I'm not a young person, I'm 41, I have husband and kids so I can't move to Bournemouth to save on travel. And I don't drive.

Having affordable bus fare is crucial for the success of my studies and mine and my family's future as I am the only breadwinner. I'm sure there are other reasons to keep the fares low from people in different situations, like inhabitants of rural areas, but this is my story."
