As we round off the year we thought we'd share this great tribute from transport solutions provider Ticketer for all the drivers, operators and local authorities who have kept our buses running throughout 2022
Funding for the future
While our call for an urgent extension to Government's Covid Recovery funding was successful, passengers still face devastating cuts to services so we will continue to call for long-term support Read more
Be kind
We launched a new series of on-board posters in English and Welsh asking people to 'Be Bus Kind' when travelling. The posters are free to download with space for operators to include their own logos Read more
The transport gap
The £1.15 billion of funding awarded through the National Bus Strategy was welcome news for some but risked widening the transport gap with areas whose bids were unsuccessful Read more
Improving the journey
Following the success of our series of online events with Disability Rights UK and CPT, we carried out an Accessibility Survey to identify what operators are doing to improve access to transport Read more
Saving London's buses
TfL reversed a number of planned cuts to London's bus services following concern from groups including Bus Users that older, younger and disabled people would be disproportionately affected Read more
We're on board
Throughout 2022 we've been working with operators to monitor their services on issues ranging from reliability and punctuality to customer service and driving, to improve services for passengers Read more
Strength in diversity
In 2022 we set out to find new board members with the energy and drive to make transport more accessible. It's been a huge success and we're looking forward to updating you in the new year Read more
Catch the Bus Month
We ran our first ever Catch the Bus Month during September which saw operators, passengers, local groups, charities, and transport bodies across the UK celebrate the vital contribution buses make to our daily lives Read more
Cheers drive!
Research from CPT found that four fifths of us thank our bus and coach drivers making them the UK's most thanked workers and helping to make bus journeys a positive experience for everyone Read more
Joining forces
We joined forces with Campaign for Better Transport and 11 other leading organisations ahead of this year's Autumn Statement to call for assurances of support for bus services Read more
Fair fares
As 2022 comes to a close, Government has officially announced rollout of the £2 bus fare cap which we'd like to see extended so that all passengers can save money on these vital services Read more
2022 and beyond
During 2022 we contributed to consultations and reviews, represented passengers at seminars and on panel discussions and ran our own in-person and virtual events. We'll continue to build on this vital work in the new year to improve transport for everyone Read more
