Bee bus aims to get town buzzing

-

THE Destinatio­n: Bee Network bus will visit Rochdale on its tour of the region to ask for feedback on the transport network.

A public conversati­on has been launched on Greater Manchester’s journey towards an integrated transport system - the Bee Network.

It will be a London-style transport system joining together buses, trams, cycling and walking by 2024, with rail incorporat­ed by 2030.

To help gather feedback which will inform further planning of the network, region leaders are encouragin­g those who live and work in the city-region to join the Destinatio­n: Bee Network Conversati­on.

The Destinatio­n: Bee Network bus will visit Stockport Interchang­e, Stand H6 between 10am and 4pm on Saturday, October 23 to gather feedback from residents in Stockport, on the plans.

Greater Manchester Mayor, Andy Burnham said: “The people of Greater Manchester deserve a world-class transport network where you can seamlessly travel across the city-region on buses, trams and trains - without spending a fortune each time.

“That’s why we’re now asking for people’s input on this key conversati­on about active travel and public transport across the city-region in the coming weeks - I urge as many people as possible to get involved.”

There are several ways people can get involved; either by completing the online survey before Friday, November 12, 2021, by visiting the Destinatio­n: Bee Network bus on its tour of Greater Manchester throughout October and November, or by clicking onto the dedicated webpage for more informatio­n.
