Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent progress his Department has been made on ensuring all buses have audio announcements.

We have required buses funded through the government’s Zero Emission Bus Regional Areas (ZEBRA) scheme to provide audible and visible information as standard.

We also plan to require the provision of audible and visible information on local bus and coach services across Great Britain, and intend to introduce the Accessible Information Regulations shortly.
