This procurement will be to support the Bus Open Data service. In 2020, DfT launched the Bus Open Data Service (BODS) a digital service for making bus service information available as open data, as required by the Public Service Vehicles (Open Data) (England) Regulations. BODS was created to support the digital transformation of bus services and deliver on a commitment to open up bus data across England, as outlined in Section 18 of the Bus Services Act (2017), allowing the Secretary of State (Transport) to legislate and require bus operators to open data for local bus services across England on routes and timetables, fares and tickets and location information from 2020. It is expected that the provision of high quality, accurate and open data will (further downstream) help passengers plan journeys, find best value tickets and get real time service updates whatever part of England they are in.
