Local Bus Service Updates
Purpose of the report: This report will seek approval for Bus
Service Improve Plan (BSIP) expenditure to extend support for some
early morning and evening bus until 30/4/24. This will enable the
current arrangements to continue whilst the findings from an
ongoing Bus Network Review are analysed. Findings and
recommendations from the Bus Network Review are planned to be
presented to CYC Executive and the Enhanced Bus Partnership in
January 2024 for implementation in May ‘24.
The Executive Member will be asked: To note and approve plans to
extend to 30th April 2024 some existing tendered bus service
contracts for early morning and evening bus services at a total
estimated cost of up to £53,000.
The rationale for the extension is to enable the outputs of the
York Bus Network Review to be thoroughly considered and discussed
with stakeholders, with a view to bringing recommendations for
longer-term, better value, and, hopefully, a more stable bus
network to the Executive and York Enhanced Bus Partnership in
January 2024, for implementation in May 2024.
