@sdb @CPT_UK @TransportFocus @FirstWestYorks Variability in traffic conditions makes timetabling a challenge hence deeper data-led changes we've been making. Team always looking to improve this so do share examples. We need to continue working with Authorities to introduce bus priority & encourage modal shift out of cars

@CPT_UK @Jones_first @TransportFocus The main thing slowing down bus speeds in this area is crap timetabling by @FirstWestYorks so off-peak services have do 20mph on a main A road not to run early.

Results from #YourBusJourney by @TransportFocus underscore the need to curb congestion. For operators to deliver more reliable punctual bus services, the next government must require all local authorities to improve bus speeds by 10% over the next 5 years. #DrivingBritainForward
