Introduction

The Scottish Government is progressing the Fair Fares Review to explore options creating a fairer, more transparent system of fares and increase affordability for those who need it most. As part of the review “Pathfinder” pilot projects to address the cost and availability of public transport and that increase integration between services and modes will be developed.

In November 2022 the Poverty Alliance were commissioned to recruit, support, and facilitate a Citizen’s Panel of people with experience of poverty and using public transport in Scotland to share their views and shape the Fair Fares Review.
