An £18.3m investment to speed up Sheffield bus routes has seen some journey times cut by up to 25%.
Highway improvements on key routes – including smarter signal controls, new bus lanes, junction upgrades and more – have also seen punctuality improvements of up to 3%.
The work is part of the UK’s first designated Better Bus Area scheme, delivered by the Sheffield Bus Partnership since 2013 and funded by the DfT. The scheme has benefited up to 55m bus users per year.
