Bus Service Improvement Plans
Rotala plc (AIM:ROL) welcomes the publication today of the
latest paper from the Government on its plans for the
reinvigoration of bus travel. This paper, called "National Bus
Strategy: Bus Service Improvement Plans - Guidance to local
authorities and bus operators", provides further detailed guidance
on the National Bus Strategy for England set out in the paper
called "Bus Back Better" published on 15 March 2021. A further
guidance paper covering Enhanced Partnerships is expected to be
published by the middle of the year.
Both papers published so far emphasise the need for both local
authorities and bus operators to build on the close working
relationships which have arisen between the two groups during the
COVID-19 pandemic to deliver on the Government's vision for bus
operation in England. The Government has enjoined local authorities
and bus operators to move at speed in formulating Bus Service
Improvement Plans, taking a lead from the planning lessons learned
in the COVID-19 pandemic. The Government has also promised GBP3
billion of new investment in buses [sense?] to underpin its
strategy.
Rotala welcomes all these announcements and intends to be a keen
participant in these initiatives. The ultimate aim is both better
bus services for customers and better customer satisfaction with
the services provided. This can only be good for the long term
health of the bus industry.
