the Β£3 billion annual cost of extending the 5p fuel duty cut is roughly equivalent to the annual fare take of every bus in England β Β£3.1 billion in 2023. so you could nearly make every bus free for the same cost gov.uk/government/statisticaβ¦

If you look at the data and cross reference with the diesel buses that run 24/7 through town youβll see a clear correlation. Make them all electric and watch the air quality vastly improve overnight β‘οΈπ

Greg Fell, Director of Public Health at #Sheffield City Council, shares his thoughts on the air quality improvements across the city, following the launch of the Clean Air Zone in February 2023.

Just imagine how much better this would be without diesel buses running 24/7 down Arundel gate. Itβs time to electrify the fleet β‘οΈπ

The air in #Sheffield is getting cleaner.
Over a year on from the launch of Sheffield City Councilβs Clean Air Zone, annual average data for 2023 shows that the level of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) from road traffic pollution has fallen significantly across the city.

Due to the silence from our @UKLabour representatives this week in regard to public transport we have to conclude that @SouthYorksMCA didnβt have a plan ready to go like their colleagues in Manchester did.

Is this all the public transport news weβre getting for Sheffield this week @SouthYorksMCA ?

The Sheffield Connect bus now stops outside Atkinsons!
The new stop is MF1 on Charter Row, after passengers asked for the free, zero-emission bus to connect them to even more of the city centre.

Unfortunately due to many failures to govern on public transport both nationally and locally our current network here in Sheffield and South Yorkshire is an absolute mess. We were hoping to hear about change today from the transport secretary but Manchester got all her attention

Hi @tomhunt100 as the transport secretary is now our very own @LouHaigh just wondering if the plans from last year can now go into action? If any city needs to βmove fast and fix thingsβ its Sheffield
21 Nov 2023
The Council is working closely with the Mayoral Combined Authority to develop a new, exciting vision that will set out our tram expansion plans.
I will continue to press the Government for greater funding for public transport in Sheffield.

I have written endless letters to the last 3 Prime Ministers and rarely even received a reply.
On Tuesday Iβll be meeting with Keir and his team and begin the urgent conversation about how we can now work together to deliver for South Yorkshire.
Change is coming.

As a Sheffield based public transport campaign weβre over the moon to see Sheffieldβs own @LouHaigh secure this critical cabinet role. Lots of challenges ahead but being in the centre of the UK, South Yorkshire is the perfect place to start the public transport revolution β‘οΈπ
