If you're a regular train traveller or commuter, now is the perfect time to check whether a season ticket could save you money. Prices in England and Wales are rising by an average of 4.6% on Sunday 2 March, but you can beat the hike and lock in today's lower prices by buying a season ticket that starts on or before Saturday 1 March.

The fare for single bus journeys in England will be capped at £2 between 1 January and 31 March next year, while in Scotland rail fares will be frozen until at least March 2023, both in an effort to help tackle the cost of living crisis. The bus fare cap will only apply to single journeys but the Department for Transport (DfT) said the move could save passengers an average of £3 per single fare.

The Government has significantly cut the financial help it is offering motorists wanting to buy a brand new electric car with immediate effect this week, and has also lowered the price cap on cars people can buy under the scheme. 

Transport for London (TfL) is making the £15 congestion charge permanent in the capital, but from 21 February next year drivers won't have to pay the fee after 6pm on weekdays and before 12pm or after 6pm on weekends. Here's what is happening. 

A new railcard will be launched this year to let 16 and 17-year-olds buy half-price train tickets, the Government has announced. 

Commuters travelling on the worst affected routes during May's timetable chaos should receive a discount on next year's travel, a group of MPs has said.

The 26-30 Railcard will be put back on sale and made available to millions more people, MoneySavingExpert.com can reveal – but it could be many months before you're able to get your hands on one if you missed out earlier this week.

A nationwide trial of the new 26-30 Railcard started on Tuesday morning, but if you want to get one you'll have to go quick, as there are only 10,000 available and the railcard website has been crashing because of the high volume of traffic.

If you're eligible for a 16-25 Railcard, National Rail's offering you the chance to get paid £10,000 to travel by train, in what's been dubbed "Britain's ultimate part-time job".

A new railcard to cut the cost of peak-time travel for 16 to 18-year-olds who are studying or training is to be trialled from early next year.
