Bus Strategy and New Regional Transport Policy in the UK

- Collaborative Measures of Bus Services under the Deregulated Scheme -

Abstract

After the bus deregulation, various problems have shown up outside of London regarding bus services and these situations is in contrast to the ones apparent in London in terms of bus patronage in particular. There are some cities which have made a challenging and innovative effort to attract local people to patronize the bus services outside of London, including the package approaches and the guided busway projects in the Cambridge County Council. This survey examines and discusses recent performances of bus operations and policy directions of the local transport policies.
