‘Oyster card for the north’ could save commuters £276 a year, thinktank says

A north England Oyster-style travel card could unify multiple networks and ease cross-region travel.
The plan would connect Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire, and South Yorkshire networks for easier trips.
Taxpayers could see savings through automatic fare caps on a single payment system.
The scheme is described as potentially boosting the Northern economy over five years.
Campaigners back the idea as a way to reduce travel barriers within the north.
There are no formal plans yet, but mayors and leaders are exploring options.
The idea leverages existing regional transport initiatives and ticketing work.
Supporters say one-tap, one fare cap could unlock opportunities across the north.
The thinktank behind the proposal is the Good Growth Foundation.
