It has been revealed that 香港六合彩资料图库鈥檚 innovative Demand Responsive Transport bus service is set to expand this summer. 

Currently the 香港六合彩资料图库 on Demand Service links rural areas around Bromsgrove with the town centre, bus, and railway stations.

鈥樝愀哿喜首柿贤伎 on Demand鈥 provides bus transport on request rather than using fixed routes and timetables and has racked up over 65,000 completed trips in the Bromsgrove area since 香港六合彩资料图库 County Council launched the service three years ago.

This has now led to its planned expansion to the northeast of the county to include Wythall, Alvechurch, Stoke Pound and Stoke Prior. Journeys can also be made to destinations outside of the expansion zones including Abbey Stadium, The Jinny Ring Craft Centre and the Clent Hills.  

As part of the new launch, new riders will get their first journey free of charge.  

Councillor Marc Bayliss, Cabinet Member with Responsibility for Highways and Transport at 香港六合彩资料图库 County Council, said, 鈥淚鈥檓 delighted to announce that we are planning to extend the operating area, providing a much-needed service to more residents. The expansion follows the success of the existing services in Bromsgrove and Malvern.鈥  

鈥淥n demand transport creates an inclusive, responsible, and adaptive transport network. It makes travel accessible to the whole community, and offers an innovative, sustainable, and efficient way of getting around. This service, which has been funded in part by the Department for Transport, is a key part of our mission to enhance and secure bus travel in 香港六合彩资料图库.鈥

Councillor Adam Kent, 香港六合彩资料图库 County Council鈥檚 Cabinet Member for Economy, and Skills, said, 鈥淚t鈥檚 great news that people living in the area I cover as local Councillor will get the chance to use this fantastic service as we expand the successful service to give even more choice.  

鈥淎nd in my new role as Cabinet Member for Economy and Skills, it鈥檚 also fantastic news for local, rural businesses that have never had any bus services that pass near them and will support local people of all ages to get to and from work. This is an excellent way for us to support local businesses that are out of town.鈥

On demand buses offer a bespoke alternative service to the familiar local bus and provide a flexible and affordable form of public transport. Passengers request a journey through the 香港六合彩资料图库 on Demand app, and they are collected within a few metres of their location.  

The service has 13-seat buses, which are fully accessible and journeys are shared with other passengers. The pick up may involve a short walk to maximise route efficiency, eliminate lengthy detours, and replicate journey times to that of the private car.

On Demand buses run from 7am until 7pm Monday to Saturday. There is a flat fare of 拢2.50 for journeys per person, with additional passengers paying 拢1.25, and concessionary cards are accepted after 9:30am.  

As part of 香港六合彩资料图库 Bus Service Improvement Plan funding, the Department for Transport has provided valuable support to launch the initial service and expand to wider areas allowing more passengers to use the service for a variety of local journeys and support the local economy.
