Time is running out to have your say on the future of bus services in Gloucestershire.

Earlier this year the government published its National Bus Strategy ‘Bus Back Better’, setting out the vision and opportunity to deliver better bus services for passengers across England.

Within this strategy, Gloucestershire County Council, as the Local Transport Authority, published its Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP), outlining the council’s strategic vision for bus services in the county.

It covers bus times and frequency, bus priority, zero emission buses, fares and tickets, passenger experience and information and branding.

The county council is now working on a partnership with bus operators in the county to set out how they will deliver the improvement plan, which residents can help shape by taking part in a survey. We have received 685 responses so far and would like to hear from more people before it closes on 30 January 2022.

You can take part in the survey at https://haveyoursaygloucestershire.uk.engagementhq.com/bus-service-improvement-plan-survey
