Changes to the £2 bus fare cap across buses in Ipswich and Suffolk are set to come into effect on Wednesday.
The scheme, announced in October, will see the £2 cap on bus fares replaced with a £3 cap on single journeys for all buses outside of London until the end of 2025.
This means that no single bus fare will exceed £3 and any changes to fares due to inflation must remain under the limit.
Funding was approved to keep the £2 fare cap by the previous Conservative government going until December 31, 2024.
In November, Suffolk County Council was granted £8.1million by the Government to improve the "broken" services.
At the time, Chris Chambers, county council cabinet member for transport policy, said: “This is a very welcome boost in funding for bus services here in Suffolk.
"We work hard to lobby government for more support when it comes to providing residents with reliable, sustainable bus services and that has clearly paid off.
“More than £8million in additional funding will help us improve services, better connect communities, and enhance the overall customer journey."
