September 27, 2024 08:30

The evaluation of the bus service improvement plans (BSIPs) scheme examines how funding was used, the impacts of interventions in place by March 2025, and the value for money achieved.

The evaluation found evidence that BSIP Phase 1 made a positive contribution to bus services and passenger outcomes. The evaluation found:

reduced bus journey times on corridors with completed bus priority measures

improved bus punctuality and reliability

improved access to employment, education and other opportunities

likely medium to high value for money from interventions in place by March 2025

strong partnerships between local transport authorities and bus operators supported implementation even while capital schemes often faced delays associated with planning, procurement and construction

The interim report, originally released in September 2024, focused on initial findings including presenting:

an update on the four monitoring metrics

initial findings on the process evaluation

a summary of trends in 5 local transport authorities
