Did you know, 11 million journeys are made by bus every day?
Buses reduce traffic and pollution and get millions of us where we need to go.
Let's protect bus services, and improve journeys, with more bus priority including bus lanes, and #BetterBusStops.

How bus-stops matter The Campaign for Better Transport has set out a demand for four types of bus stops to be standardised across the nation, so that passengers can enjoy a more reliable level of service

Attractive bus stops with accurate information on display would help both locals and tourists to navigate the bus network.

This great piece from @kentandsurreybylines.co.uk highlights why #BetterBusStops are so important:

Better Bus Stops: Creating a national bus stop standard This report looks at how a National Bus Stop Standard would ensure all bus stops provide specific facilities and information as a minimum.

As the seasons turn and the weather gets wetter and windier, what's it like waiting for a bus at your local stop? 🌧️🍂

We're campaigning for #BetterBusStops: more shelters, seating, timetables, and real-time information: https://ow.ly/iezk50X6fJz

All bus stops should have current, accurate timetables Bus stops matter. As the start and end points of more than 10 million journeys every day, they should give travellers a positive experience. And printed information is central to that.

I recall a tax payer funded route that the Peterborough Cambs combined authority never produced a printed timetable and never had physical stops in residential area (wasn't hail and ride)
