In 2002 the 'Bus Service Operators Grant (England) Regulations 2002' extended the grant to cover a wider range of community transport service operators. Under the Coalition government's Comprehensive Spending Review (CSR) the grant was kept at 81% until April 2012, when reduced by 20%. The current payment rate is the lowest ever percentage since the rebate's inception in the 1960s. In autumn 2012 the DfT held a consultation on bus subsidy reform in which it presented options to switch some or all of the rebate away from the bus operators that incur the fuel cost, and pay it instead to local authorities. It opened on 13 September 2012 and closed on 12 November. The Government considered reducing BSOG in 2013 but following a joint campaign by bus operators, local authorities and campaign groups, decided against. However, some eligibility criteria were tightened. A 2014 economic appraisal carried out by the firm KPMG on behalf of the group Greener Journeys found that for £1 spent on BSOG, between £2.50 and £3.50 is generated in benefits, including wider economic and social impacts. In 2015, again there were fears that BSOG would be cut as part of the Government Spending Review, which combined with cuts to local authority funding, would have threatened many bus routes. Campaign and industry groups campaigned against this, and in the Autumn Statement in November, it became clear that BSOG would be retained. BSOG rates paid to operators in England from 2014 onwards. In April 2022, an additional zero-emission bus incentive of 22 pence/kilometre was introduced. From 1 January 2014, the Department for Transport (DfT) has paid an annual grant to eligible local authorities in England to replace the Bus Service Operators’ Grant (BSOG) for tendered services. Until September 2018, this had been paid direct to the bus operators. Scotland BSOG was devolved and has been administered separately in Scotland since 1 April 2010. The link with fuel duty was formally severed from this date with payments being calculated on live service-kilometres run, not fuel consumption. This slightly favoured rural bus routes whose fuel efficiency is slightly higher than urban buses which have more stop-start driving. This also disincentivised less fuel efficient buses and 'dead milage' for bus movements between an operator's depots. BSOG was replaced by the Network Support Grant on 31 March 2022.
