Today, our Convener summed up outstanding issues relating to the £2 bus fare cap, announced by @scotgov as part of its Programme for Government 👇

[Willie Rennie @willie_rennie]

There are still uncertainties about the bus fare cap in Scotland even as it is about to be expanded, including what it will mean for the number of bus routes and future investment. The transport committee will question the transport secretary on these and other issues next week.
