The Local Authority challenge

How important are bus services? In the year ending March 2015: there were an estimated 5.16 billion bus passenger journeys in Great Britain, around two-thirds of all public transport journeys, of these 4.65 billion journeys were in England, of which more than half were in London

There were around 9.8 million older and disabled concessionary bus passes in England, with an average of 102 bus journeys per pass per year

What is the role of the LAs? Under section 63 of the Transport Act 1985, English local authorities outside London have a duty to provide subsidised bus services where there are no commercial services and where they think it appropriate. A council is entitled to take account of the funding that is available in deciding what, if any, level of service is provided.

Result Bus passenger journeys in England decreased by 0.6% in 2014/15 compared with the previous financial year This was largely due to 10% reduction in mileage on local authority supported services outside London
