Buses and public transport

Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP) 

Our BISP has been developed in cooperation with local bus operators and sets out proposals for improving bus services in Leicestershire.

Passenger transport  

Passenger transport is changing in Leicestershire and, at the same time as the county council is facing significant challenges, we are also trying to offer a better service for residents.
