Public transport provides benefits to the whole community. It helps reduce traffic congestion, lowers emissions, and offers essential mobility for those who rely on it. Last year, we carried over 3.4 million customers, which means 3.4 million fewer private vehicle trips on our region’s roads.
Even if you don’t use the bus, a well-functioning public transport system supports the local economy by making it easier for people to travel to work, school, and local businesses. It also contributes to the overall quality of life in our community by reducing pollution and making our roads safer and less congested.
Our public transport services receive funding from multiple sources, including revenue from bus fares and advertising, subsidies from the Central Government, and rates from the local community. We also offer concessionary fares to certain customers to aid with travel expenses. Some of these concessions are mandated by the Central Government, for which we receive a subsidy to help offset the associated costs.
