UK launches bus franchising pilot in Cumbria to improve rural service reliability and access.
The UK government has launched a bus franchising pilot in Cumbria, allocating up to £500,000 to give local councils greater control over bus services in rural areas.
The initiative aims to improve reliability, accessibility, and affordability by allowing councils to regulate private operators, protect essential routes, and prioritize passenger needs over profit.
It supports the upcoming Bus Services Bill and seeks to address long-standing challenges in rural transport, including service cuts and limited access to jobs, healthcare, and education.
Local officials and MPs welcomed the move, emphasizing its potential to deliver tailored, sustainable solutions.
