Issue details

Emergency changes to the subsidised bus network to reflect changed demands on the network due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

To respond to the impact of the on-going Covid-19 pandemic on the bus network TfGM has undertaken to review supported services across Greater Manchester with a view to rationalising these in response to commercial network changes and to reflect the pronounced and continuing reductions in patronage. Changes will need to be implemented at short notice as this piece of work is being undertaken in the context of large and continuing drops in passenger numbers, of as much of 90% in some cases, alongside shortages of operating staff.
