The government has announced that regulated train fares in England are to increase by 4.6% next year.
00:06
It was also revealed that the price of most rail cards will rise by £5.
00:11
The changes are set to come into force from 2nd March 2025 and were noted in the Treasury's budget document.
00:17
This rise only relates directly to travel in England.
00:21
Disabled persons cards are the only rail cards to be exempt from the fare increase.
00:26
The government added that this is the lowest absolute increase in three years.
00:30
But on the other hand, Organisation Campaign for Better Transport said that raising rail fares above inflation
00:36
was a quote, kick in the teeth for those who rely on public transport.
00:40
The organisation also added that public transport should be the affordable choice in order to tackle air pollution and congestion.
00:48
Furthermore, the Chief Executive of Organisation Rail Partners said that the focus must be on growing passenger numbers,
00:55
not making current passengers pay more.
00:58
But what do you think? Do you think rail fare rises make train travel too expensive for the average person?
