The Competition and Markets Authority's (CMA) purpose is to help people, businesses and the UK economy by protecting competition and tackling unfair behaviour.

About this consultation

We are consulting on the CMA’s proposed recommendation to the Secretary of State for Business and Trade that the Public Transport Ticketing Schemes Block Exemption (PTTSBE) should be continued.

The purpose of this consultation is to seek views on the CMA’s proposed recommendation to the Secretary of State for Business and Trade (the Secretary of State) as to whether there is a continuing need for the PTTSBE.

The PTTSBE automatically exempts certain types of agreements establishing public transport ticketing schemes from certain aspects of competition law if they meet certain conditions.

You can read more about this consultation and our draft recommendation in the Consultation on the CMA’s proposed recommendation to the Secretary of State document attached to this page.
