These proposals demonstrate a commitment to improving bus services and making bus travel more appealing, affordable, reliable and efficient for the people of Greater Manchester.”

We welcome the Government’s recognition that bus services are a lifeline, not a luxury, essential to connecting people with jobs, education, healthcare and each other. This Act opens the door to a fairer, more dependable bus network – now we must ensure that the people who rely on it most are the ones who truly benefit.”
