TfGM implements the decisions made by Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) and its the TfGM commitment to improve transport services and facilities in Greater Manchester. One of the key tasks for TfGM is the management of bus stations across the region. They need to be safe, clean and pleasant locations and that is where this tender comes in. Creating a welcoming environment for customers is vital to ensure that more and more customers use Public Transport, so making sure that the weeding and any necessary shrub works for example, are completed to a high standard, will only help in this area.
Keeping the Leigh to Ellenbrook Guided Bus way clear and available for use is another key component of TfGM providing transport services to the region and that, again, is why they have been included in this tender.
