This question was answered on 14th February 2019
The Bus Services Act 2017 provides the tools that local authorities need to improve local bus services. Bus Open Data powers in the Act will require bus operators in England to open up information about routes, timetables, fares and tickets in real time for passengers by 2020. These improvements aim to improve journey planning and help passengers secure best value tickets.
We are working with interested local authorities to determine which of the powers provided are best able to support bus networks in their areas.
