The cost of home to school transport in the East Riding will be increasing by £60 to £600 a year from September.
The council's cabinet approved the increase this week, along with future increases pegged to inflation.
Council Leader, Jonathan Owen, says the increase is balanced.
Head of Education, Deborah Myers, explains what the decision means for fees:
The cabinet rejected a call to set future increases at inflation plus one percent.
Councillor Claire Holmes thinks that's the right decision in the current economic climate:
