Bus Centre of Excellence Forum is Now Live!

We are delighted that the BCoE Forum is now live and open for debate and discussion of all things bus related. How will AI impact on the sector? What challenges and opportunities are shaping bus services in your area? How can the sector reach net zero?

The BCoE Forum is an informal, online platform where you can connect with your colleagues, peers, and experts in the bus sector to share best practice and support each other. 

The Forum is your opportunity to discuss developments in the bus sector, suggest topics and issues that the Bus Centre of Excellence should be engaging with, and seek out the views of fellow bus professionals.

Help us build a thriving community that needs YOUR input, ideas, and expertise!

The second shares DfT’s analysis of the impact of the Government's £2 fare cap in rural England, whilst the third presents Orla's Lenehan Transport Planning Society finalist paper "Ensuring Public Transport is Back in Bus-iness" and shares her in-depth research and findings.
