Leicestershire Bus Service Improvement Plan 2024
This document sets out our vision and plan for improving bus services and growing bus patronage in Leicestershire, in line with the National Bus Strategy.
Our Leicestershire Bus Service Improvement Plan 2024 (LBSIP24) will play a key role in achieving the Local transport Plan (LTP4) goals as it sets out our ambitious proposals for improving bus services across Leicestershire including:
- Measures to improve bus service reliability and frequency
- Reviewing the Leicestershire bus network to provide a mix of service types and better frequencies / later journeys to complement commercial provision
- Introduction of new ticketing arrangements to make bus travel more affordable, particularly for young people
- Improvements to bus service information using different operators’ services and paying fares
- Measures to improve integration between different bus services and between bus and rail and other travel modes such as cycling, walking and e-mobility
- An expansion in the number of areas where Demand Responsive Transport services (DRTs) are available
- Integrating school and commuter travel into services
- Encouraging and supporting the move to ‘greener’ fleets
