Yeomans has said it was waiting for more information before deciding.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The bus fare cap in England will revert to \u00a32, from the current \u00a33 from January.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Peberdy, who chairs a group which looks into how the county&#8217;s bus services can be improved, confirmed Bromyard-based DRM did plan to participate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Independent councillor Nick Mason said it would be &#8220;horrendous&#8221; if the rest of the country took part but fares in Herefordshire cost more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Tammy Gerber of local campaign group Buses4Us said the difference between capped and uncapped fares could run to \u00a31,200 a year for someone commuting five days a week in the county.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;Herefordshire&#8217;s operators need to get with the programme before January 2027 and not leave young people to find out the hard way that they&#8217;ve been left behind,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Sergeants currently has 24 routes listed on the Herefordshire Council website, chiefly in and around Hereford and westwards towards and into Wales.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Yeomans Travel meanwhile operates 31 routes including many serving villages around Hereford, to Leominster and the north and also the southwest of the county.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">A Yeomans spokesperson said that with the details of the scheme &#8220;still evolving&#8221;, the support on offer from the government would depend on data it had yet to submit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;Consequently, a final decision on participation cannot be made at this point,&#8221; they said, adding: &#8220;We do not expect to receive the government&#8217;s proposal until late November.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Sargeants was also contacted for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
