# Bus funding: Where would it make the most difference?

![](https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/624/cpsprodpb/11963/production/_110853027_busfunding-nc.png)

The government has promised £5bn for bus services and cycling over five years.

We [looked at how spending on support for local bus services has changed](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-51460437), where passenger numbers have risen and fallen the most and where the bus is used most per head of population around England.

Sources of data are all from the Department for Transport’s bus statistics.
