Government urged to make buses free to all by 2025 in net zero blueprint ‘Fairness lock’ is essential to net zero transition, the IPPR Environmental Justice Commission suggests Image: Shutterstock Bus travel in an upgraded local public transport network should be free for all by 2025 as the UK transitions to net zero. That’s one of the recommendations by the IPPR Environmental Justice Commission, which calls on the government to place fairness and people at the heart of its net zero blueprint. Working on proposals that could ensure that the UK’s net zero move also contributes to a vital ‘people’s dividend’, the commission, which is co-chaired by figures from the Conservative, Labour and Green parties, suggests local public transport should be free to all commuters throughout the UK by 2030.
