With 82% of public transport journeys in the region taken by bus, investing in improved services is a vital part of LCRCA’s ambition to deliver an integrated transport system for the Liverpool City Region that makes public transport cheaper, quicker and more reliable.
LCRCA’s Green Bus Routes programme is designed to transform bus journeys, including punctuality and accessibility, improve air quality by reducing carbon emissions while boosting the local economy. Ultimately, travelling on a ‘green bus route’ will mean that passengers can enjoy faster, smoother, safer and more reliable journeys.
This will be achieved via a series of measures including traffic signal upgrades, remodelled junctions, priority lanes and bus stop build outs that will be initially introduced in phases on the region’s busiest bus routes.
