Good news, everyone*! If you want to burn those old-fashioned Go Cards**, you can from Monday, as Brisbane buses finally accept bank card contactless payments for everyone!***

It’s like it’s 2012 (when London did it), or 2019 (when Sydney did it), or some random time in the future (hello Melbourne)

* in Brisbane, which I appreciate is not everyone
** by which I mean “apply for a refund”, and don’t burn them, they’re probably toxic
*** except if you have a concessionary card, keep using that if you do

A new direct bus service now connects Castle Cary Station, improving #transport links in rural Somerset. A bus turning area has been created in the station car park, allowing buses on route 1, which links Castle Cary and Shepton Mallet, to stop at the station. Representatives from Great Western #Railway (GWR), #Somerset Council, and South West Coaches met on 17 March 2025 to launch the service. GWR's Nick Reid highlighted the importance of local transport for sustainability and local economies. Councillor Richard Wilkins noted the service will improve connectivity and encourage car-free travel. South West Coaches’ Peter Fairey added that the upgrade enhances the passenger experience and supports the local transport network.

South Yorkshire’s Mayor, Oliver Coppard, has announced a historic decision to bring buses back under public control, marking the biggest change to the bus network since the 1980s. This follows a major consultation where 87% of respondents supported bus franchising. Under this system, the South #Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) will control bus routes, timetables, fares, and service standards, with publicly controlled #buses starting in 2027. Mayor Coppard described the move as reversing the failed privatisation of buses and pledged to create a fully integrated #transport system across South Yorkshire, improving access to jobs and services. The Mayor also plans to announce a new public transport brand for buses, trams, and other services.

Not sure if turning the #A14 into the #M14 would be a miracle cure (a Northern bypass for #Ipswich does make more sense, but won't happen overnight) - either would only provide fairly short term gains, they would soon fill up with traffic!

A wider problem is bad #driving during the time pressures of the rush hour - more businesses should adopt flexible working to alleviate this (the lorry drivers are already working 24/7)

The image is a table titled "Profile of Sample," displaying a strong sample of regular users across transport modes. The table is divided into sections for Bus, Rail, and Tram, with yellow headers and logos representing different service providers. It shows the percentage of users and travel frequency for each mode. The rows label frequency as: every day/weekday, 2-4 days per week, once a week, at least once a month, once every 2 to 3 months, and once every 4 to 6 months. The base number of respondents for each provider is listed at the top of each column. At the bottom right, questions related to travel frequency for each mode are listed. Logos of Ipsos and B&A appear at the bottom.
The image is an infographic titled "Overall Sentiment Towards Public Transport," featuring four vertical bar graphs comparing different satisfaction metrics. Each graph is divided into segments with varying shades of green, grey, or red indicating different satisfaction levels. The first graph shows overall satisfaction, with "Very satisfied" (green, 39%), "Fairly satisfied" (light green, 43%), "Neither satisfied nor dissatisfied" (grey, 10%), "Fairly dissatisfied" (red, 6%), and "Very dissatisfied" (red, 2%), leading to an overall satisfaction rate of 82%. The second graph, regarding satisfaction with the most recent trip, shows "Very satisfied" (green, 54%), "Fairly satisfied" (light green, 38%), and "Neither satisfied nor dissatisfied" (grey, 5%), resulting in a total satisfaction rate of 93%. The third graph compares perceptions of transport service over the last 12 months, with "Better now" (green, 33%), "About the same" (grey, 53%), "Worse than it was" (red, 6%), and "Don't know" (grey, 8%). The final graph shows the Net Promoter Score (NPS) for likelihood to recommend, with "9-10" (green, 54%), "7-8" (grey, 33%), and "0-6" (red, 12%). At the bottom are summary statistics and comparisons, including yearly satisfaction percentages and NPS scores for 2024, 2023, and 2022, with survey details and questions provided below the graphs.
The image is a survey graphic titled "Key Reasons for Satisfaction and Dissatisfaction with TFI Buses," focusing on customer feedback for different bus services: Bus Éireann, Dublin Bus, Go-Ahead Dublin, and Go-Ahead Kildare. Each section shows satisfaction and dissatisfaction percentages, with key reasons represented by horizontal bar charts in green for satisfaction and red for dissatisfaction. Top satisfaction drivers include "punctual/reliable/on time" and "good/excellent/happy with service," while common dissatisfaction factors are "not punctual/unreliable" and "does not show, turn up, stop." Satisfaction levels vary: Bus Éireann (77%), Dublin Bus (69%), Go-Ahead Dublin (82%), and Go-Ahead Kildare (90%). Dissatisfaction percentages are lower, with Bus Éireann at 12% and Go-Ahead Kildare at 3%. Logos for each company appear at the top of their respective sections.
The image compares the accuracy of information provided by online apps versus real-time information at stops, based on survey opinions. Two vertical bar charts are shown side by side, each divided into three colour-coded sections representing different accuracy levels. The left chart depicts accuracy for online and app information, with a base of 3,944 responses. The green section at the top shows 42% find it extremely accurate (scores 9-10), the grey section in the middle shows 41% find it moderately accurate (scores 7-8), and the red section at the bottom shows 7% find it not at all accurate (scores 1-6). The right chart represents real-time information at stops, with a base of 5,184 responses. The green section at the top shows 46% find it extremely accurate, the grey middle section shows 38% find it moderately accurate, and the red bottom section shows 16% find it not accurate. Below each chart, a table displays the percentage of respondents finding the information extremely accurate over three years (2022-2024), showing an increase. The image includes a footer with survey questions and logos of Ipsos and B&A.
