Bristol Live has been campaigning for better buses for Bristol

Employees who take the bus to and from work every day of the week will fork out an extra £448 because of the 'unfair' change, critics have said, putting a median earner's tax bill up to £5,420.

Commuters and those who travel by bus will be hit by a “bus tax” that is as costly as a 1p rise in income tax, new analysis shows.
