UK BUS SUMMIT

2025 is an important year for the most heavily used form of public transport across the UK, with new Buses Bills currently going through both UK and Welsh Parliaments allowing the introduction of franchising and municipal operations. It also heralds the first Comprehensive Spending Review of the new UK Government who has placed growth at the top of its agenda and views bus as a vital tool to help boost it. Following hot on the heels of Greater Manchester, Regional Mayors across England are moving to transform their bus networks, with most currently in the process of progressing re-regulation.
