New frequent routes, simpler fares and later evening services start on 12 January.

The redesign replaces 31 overlapping routes with 18 simpler ones, and six core lines will run every ten minutes through the day. Planners used a year of passenger counts and more than 4,000 survey responses to decide where buses are needed most.

What changes for passengers

  • Route numbers change on 12 January, and new maps go up at every stop in December.
  • One flat fare covers any journey within 60 minutes, including transfers.
  • Evening services run an hour later on all core lines.

Ambassadors will be at the main interchanges during the first two weeks to help people find their new route. Timetables are available from the Service Centre on Market Street or by calling 311.
