Next phase of Manchester’s Bee Network expansion announced
The next stage of Greater Manchester's Bee Network expansion has been announced.
The bee network bus franchising is set to be rolled out across a wider area of the region at the end of March, and will be under public control for the first time in almost 40 years, following the launch of the bee network in September.
Yellow buses will be taking to the streets of Oldham, Rochdale and parts of Bury, Salford and North Manchester.
This next phase will mean 324 bus routes will be under the control of Transport for Greater Manchester, which is 50 per cent of the region's bus network.
This latest step for public transport was launched on Sunday March 24, and a range of developments have been announced as part of the next phase.
The Bee Network is Greater Manchester’s plan for an integrated, affordable and accessible transport network system combining buses, trams, bikes with the largest walking, wheeling and cycling network anywhere in the UK.
