Infrastructure minister defends 25% price increase
Raising the cost of school buses will generate £45,000 for the Department of Infrastructure.
That's according to Minister Tim Crookall who was questioned about a price rise in the House of Keys yesterday (5 March).
It's now 50p a trip for children compared to 40p last term.
Mr Crookall also explained why there was such little notice about the change.
