Nearly two thirds of all public transport journeys in England are by bus. Bus networks need to provide flexible and convenient services tailored to local needs, offering a reliable way to travel to and from jobs, schools, shops and other services. This is crucial for people without access to a car and providing genuine choice for those who do.

ITS technologies can help provide better and more inclusive public transport through:

• improved reliability and accessibility for users
• efficiency gains for operators
• and cost-effectiveness and affordability for users and operators.
