Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to his Department's consultation, Bus Services Act 2017: accessible information, which closed on 16 September 2019, when his Department plans to publish (a) a summary of consultation responses, (b) draft guidance for bus operators, (c) his Department’s response to that consultation and (d) draft regulations introducing the accessible information requirement.

The Government understands the importance of accessible on-board information in helping bus passengers to travel with confidence, and in Summer 2018 published a public consultation on proposals to require its provision on local bus services throughout Great Britain.

We continue to analyse responses to the consultation and expect to report on its findings, and to announce our next steps regarding the making of Regulations and publication of guidance later in the year.
