The South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) has initiated a major consultation on the future of bus services in the region.
This 12-week public consultation is a critical opportunity for residents and stakeholders to express their views on the proposed bus franchising scheme, which could see SYMCA taking control of bus operations, including routes, timetables, and fares.
The aim is to improve the reliability and efficiency of the bus network for the public benefit. Everyone is encouraged to participate and contribute to shaping the future of South Yorkshire’s public transport.
