Has the Bee Network improved public transport in Greater Manchester?

The Bee Network has brought Greater Manchester's buses under local control and is integrating bus, tram and active travel services across the region.

Recent figures show passenger numbers have increased, while bus reliability and customer satisfaction have also improved since franchising was introduced.

The network has continued to expand, with new routes, more frequent services and night buses now operating in every Greater Manchester borough.

However, passengers continue to experience disruption and reliability issues on parts of the network, including during major Metrolink maintenance and improvement works.
