The Government is committed to seeing the bus sector and light rail networks return to financial sustainability. However, we recognise the ongoing challenges faced by operators and Local Transport Authorities to maintain services and are currently working with both sectors to understand how these might impact services after Covid recovery funding ends and what further action might be needed.
