Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they intend to take to improve local bus services through additional financial support to transport authorities and local government.
The National Bus Strategy, published in March last year, set out the Government’s vision for delivering better bus services for passengers across England.
In April, we announced over £1 billion of new funding for Bus Service Improvement Plans. 34 areas have since been selected to receive funding to deliver those plans.
