Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when he plans to introduce a requirement for buses to have audio visual (a) next stop and (b) final destination announcements.

In Summer 2018 the Government consulted publicly on plans to use powers in the Bus Services Act 2017 to make Regulations requiring the provision of audible and visible information on-board local bus services across Great Britain. We continue to analyse responses to the consultation and will announce our next steps regarding Regulations and publication of guidance later in the year.

The Government also plans to provide £2m to help smaller bus companies to provide information on-board their services.
