Buses are lifelines and liberators, connecting people to jobs they couldn't otherwise take, sustaining town centres and protecting the environment.
As we build back from the pandemic, better buses will be one of our first acts of levelling up.
Proud to launch our new #NationalBusStrategy today which will completely overhaul services, ensuring we build back better from the pandemic🚦🚍 [1/8]
