Greater Manchester Bus Reform - Consultations

Have your say on the impact of Covid-19 on Greater Manchester's proposals for the future of your buses

This consultation concerns the proposal to introduce bus franchising in Greater Manchester made by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA). Between October 2019 and January 2020, Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) held a consultation on a proposed franchising scheme for the city-region’s buses. In June 2020, GMCA received the results of the consultation but decided, before a final decision could be made, that the longer-term impact that the Covid-19 pandemic may have on the bus market and the proposed scheme should be considered.

The consultation document (referenced throughout the questionnaire) explains why GMCA consider that bus franchising remains the right way to reform the bus market having considered the possible effects of Covid-19. The purpose of this consultation is to allow you to provide your views on proposals to reform Greater Manchester’s buses in light of the impact of Covid-19. 

Please read the consultation document before answering the questions.
