The West of England Partnership's vision to improve transport across the region

Why develop GBBN?

The GBBN scheme is an integral part of the Joint Local Transport Plan (JLTP) and as such its aims are to support the Plan's bus strategy in:

 

  • Increasing the number of bus passengers
  • Increasing satisfaction with bus services
  • Improving bus reliability and punctuality and reducing journey times
  • Increasing the percentage of the population within 45 minutes journey time by bus from the major centers of Bath, Bristol, Cribbs Causeway, the North Fringe and Weston-super-Mare
The scheme will also assist in the achievement of the broader JLTP targets including those around accessibility, road safety, congestion and air quality whilst promoting social inclusion.
