i0UTH YORKSHIRE PTE's !heap fares policy will cost E48.3am next year, of which E43.5m will come from local Funds.

This represents a £12m inn-ease on the 1979/80 figure, ind South Yorkshire County L'ouncil proposes to set aside in additional £4.8m to meet mticipated inflation.

The increase will raise rate ..;ontributions to an average lousehold's rate bill by 5p, 'rom 15p to 20p per El, or £6.50 a year.

Passenger transport committee chairman Alex Waugh ;aid last week: "Those who pppose our transport policy will jump up and down with ever-increasing velocity, but it will be supported by the vast majority of people.

"They will get the best passenger transport service and the lowest fares in Britain, and very cheap children's fares and free travel for pensioners in off-peak periods."
