Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what projections for patronage on a month-by-month basis is covid-19 recovery funding based on for (a) bus services outside London and (b) light rail systems outside London.

The level of funding available through the Bus Recovery Grant (BRG) and Light Rail and Tram Recovery Grant (LRTRG) has been based on operator revenue and patronage projections which have been reviewed by the Department. This data is commercially sensitive and includes forecasts from operators which are not in the public domain.
