The benefits of quality partnerships vary from scheme to scheme but are generally aimed at improving the quality and/or reliability of local bus services. This primarily benefits passengers who use the services concerned. As stated in the post-legislative assessment of the Local Transport Act 2008, partnerships can also result in other benefits, such as growth in patronage, better value for money and improvements in the efficiency and effectiveness of bus networks.
