The big plan for better buses

Quality Buses

Buses that are nice to ride in; that are clean, in good condition, and that aren’t belching out thick diesel fumes into my neighbourhood.

More Buses

It is true that more frequent buses are more useful to everyone. More frequent services get more people onto the buses. More passengers mean more viable services. And that helps shift more journeys from cars into buses, leading to less congestion and less pollution.

Drivers who are helpful, and feel supported

Buses that drivers and passengers can be proud of, with bus companies and their drivers committed to customer service
We have been out and about at bus stops around the city talking to bus passengers and an issue that comes up time and again is that people want bus drivers to be friendly and helpful. Many drivers are obviously doing…

Buses where I want to go

Buses that I can use to go about my daily business. They take me to the shops, to work, to school, out for a night on the town, and back home again.

Buses on time

Buses running to the timetable: they don’t leave you waiting for ages at the stop; they don’t zoom past five minutes early while you are running for the bus; they are on time. Pure and simple.

Better information on buses

Knowing when my bus goes, whether I use the internet, or rely on signage at bus stops. Knowing where my bus leaves from and whether it is running to time.

Integrated Ticketing

Tickets you can use on buses run by any company, and on other forms of transport too, for that matter.

Affordable Buses

Buses I can afford to use for my regular journeys and that makes bus travel the obvious option when travelling to work, the shops, school and for a night out.
