Johnson plans overhaul of bus services in England

Bus Services in England

Boris Johnson has unveiled plans for a shake-up of the bus sector.

The prime minister hopes the plans will see lower, simpler flat fares in towns and cities, turn-up-and-go services on main routes, and new flexible services.

The strategy, which the government claims is backed by £3 billion of investment, is designed to see passengers across England benefiting from more frequent, easier to use, better coordinated, and cheaper bus services.

The Labour party, however, argued services had continued to decline.

The changes include simpler bus fares with daily price caps, so travelers can use the bus as many times a day as they need without facing mounting costs.

London mayor, Sadiq Khan, introduced a similar ‘Hopper Fare’ in London in 2016.

There are also plans for more services in the evenings and at the weekends, as well as for integrated services and ticketing across all transport modes.

It is hoped this will allow commuters to move easily move from bus to train, while all buses will be expected to accept contactless payments.

Hundreds of miles of new bus lanes are also planned to make journeys quicker and more reliable.

Johnson said: “Buses are lifelines and liberators, connecting people to jobs they couldn’t otherwise take, driving pensioners and young people to see their friends, sustaining town centers, and protecting the environment.

“As we build back from the pandemic, better buses will be one of our first acts of leveling-up.

“The fragmented, fully commercialized market, which has operated outside London since 1986 will end. We want to see operators and local councils enter into a statutory “enhanced partnership” or franchising agreements to receive the new funding and deliver the improvements.”

The government hopes to deliver 4,000 new British-built electric or hydrogen buses and end sales of new diesel buses.

Because of the decline in use caused by the pandemic, bus operators have already received emergency support from the government.

Commenting on the announcement, Sam Tarry, shadow bus minister for the Labour party, said: “This so-called strategy offers nothing for those who were looking for a bold vision to reverse the millions of miles of bus routes lost across the country.

“People will be wondering when they return to work whether there will be enough affordable and regular buses for their daily commute.

“The Tories said deregulation would improve our buses but they’re running bus services into the ground.

“Passengers now face a toxic mix of rising fares, cuts to services, and reduced access.

“The Government must do more to protect this crucial sector – not least given we’ve already seen more than 1,000 jobs lost in the bus and coach manufacturing industry alone since the pandemic started.”
