Shetland has today (30 January 2026) started a bus fares cap at £2 per journey throughout the County.
This excludes Lerwick to Scalloway, which is currently £1.80.
This is a trial, later in the year it is hoped to expand it to Orkney, the Outer Hebrides, across the Highland Council (HiTrans) area, Moray and Argyll & Bute.
Details beyond Shetland are currently hazy, but if Argyll & Bute is eventually added this should include the Isle of Mull, and the Isle of Islay, and the HiTrans area also includes the Isle of Skye.
EDITED to add the start date on Shetland, now it is confirmed.
