About

Derbyshire’s BSIP sets out an ambitious range of measures designed to make bus services in the county better including:

• Measures to improve bus service reliability and journey times.
• Improvements to bus service information including an increase in the number of roadside electronic Real Time Information signs at bus stops.
• Measures to improve integration between different bus services and between bus and rail including the development of transport hubs at key locations to help bring services together.
• The introduction of new ticketing arrangements to make bus travel more affordable.
• Better roadside shelters and stops.
• Improvements in the frequency and hours of operation of key bus services.
• An expansion in the number of areas where Demand Responsive Transport services are available.
• The introduction of more environmentally friendly buses.

Our BSIP also includes a range of targets to monitor the impact of these measures including patronage growth and levels of passenger satisfaction as well as more specific targets linked to the number of new bus shelters and Real Time Information signs being installed each year.
