Almost £1bn in funding will go to delivering London-style buses across England as part of a massive Budget boost, the government has promised.
The Department for Transport (DfT) has given more details on its plans for 2025 after announcing the funding last month.
It has promised to deliver what it calls "London-style" services to every corner of the country, and said funding would be allocated based on levels of deprivation and population, instead of making areas compete for investment as it has in previous years.
The DfT says Leicester, the Isle of Wight, Torbay, Southend, Cambridgeshire and Peterborough are set to receive "unprecedented" levels of funding.
In urban areas, some of the biggest allocations are being given to combined authorities representing South Yorkshire and the Liverpool City Region.
In total, there will be £712m for local authorities to improve services, alongside a further £243m for bus operators.
About 3.4 million people in England travel regularly by bus, making it the most commonly used mode of public transport.
Local authorities in all English regions will be able to introduce new bus routes, make services more frequent and protect crucial routes, the DfT says.
It added the money will allow more urban areas to maintain high levels of service. Meanwhile, rural communities and small towns will be able to offer more services.
Transport Secretary Louise Haigh told the BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme the funding would "vastly improve" the reliability and frequency of services, particularly in rural areas.

French singer-songwriter Charles Dumont, who composed Edith Piaf's Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien, has died at the age of 95.
Dumont was 27 years old when he wrote the song in 1956. But it was not until 1960 that he was persuaded to approach the star, who enthusiastically accepted it.
Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien (I regret nothing) - which expresses a wish to make peace with the past and start anew - became one of Piaf's signature songs.
It topped the charts in France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Canada. The song is also well known throughout the English-speaking world - it was notably quoted in 1993 by Britain's then-Chancellor Norman Lamont.
When asked at a news conference whether he regretted optimistic statements he had made as the economy was struggling, Lamont replied: "Je ne regrette rien", sparking laughter among reporters but controversy later.
In a 2018 interview, Dumont told AFP news agency that he initially did not dare approach Piaf with the song because she "had already fired me three times and I didn't want to see her again".

But the song's lyricist, Michel Vaucaire, convinced him to try four years later. Dumont added that Piaf showed extreme reluctance when the pair turned up at her flat, but she allowed Dumont to play the song on her piano.
"From then on we were inseparable," he said. Dumont would eventually compose more than 30 songs for Piaf before her death in 1963.
Edith Piaf became an international star after spending most of her early life on the streets of Paris.
She is famous for singing ballads - including La Vie en Rose, Milord and La Foule.
Dumont also wrote for stars such as Jacques Brel, Juliette Gréco and Barbra Streisand. He went on to have a successful solo career from the 1970s.

Retiring superstar Rafael Nadal says he will not be distracted by emotion as he aims to help Spain win the Davis Cup in the final tournament of his illustrious career.
Nadal, a 22-time Grand Slam champion, will retire from tennis after representing his nation at the men's team event in Malaga.
Spain play the Netherlands in the quarter-finals on Tuesday, but it remains unclear if 38-year-old Nadal will be fit enough to play a significant part.
The former world number one has played only seven tournaments this year after battling various injuries over the past couple of seasons.
"I'm not here for retiring. I'm here to help the team win," said Nadal, who announced last month he was planning to quit here.
"It’s a team competition and the most important thing is to all stay focused on what we have to do - that is play tennis and do it very well.
"The emotions are going to be for the end."
