A majority of tickets will cost less, some up to £1.50 per trip.

Any increases will be small (20p) and easily offset through extra flexibility.

The move paves the way for rail coming into the @BeeNetwork from 12/26.

Big thanks to @Heidi_Labour and the DfT team for backing us. 🙏🏻

Finally, the 2nd trial on removing the 9.30am restriction on older and disabled people’s bus passes starts on 1/11/25.

It will last 30 days and help us make a decision on whether we can remove it permanently.

Slowly but surely, we’re building a @BeeNetwork for everyone! 🐝

Another improvement launching today is live information on the app about the availability of car parking spaces at our Park and Ride sites.

Initially, we are testing the service and four sites but we hope to offer it soon at all locations. 🙌🏻

TravelSafe Live Chat is our response to the call from our residents for a stronger focus on safety on the @BeeNetwork.

We also know some worry about the walk from the bus or tram stop so we’re partnering with @StrutSafe whose volunteers are on hand to help you get home. 👍🏻

TravelSafe Live Chat will connect passengers within a few seconds with a real person and not a chatbot.

The service is supported by an integrated team of police and TravelSafe officers who can be tasked to provide a response.

Here’s how it works in practice.👇🏻

Today sees the launch of TravelSafe Live Chat.

We believe it’s the first service of its kind in the UK and perhaps anywhere.👌🏻

People can now make quick and discreet contact with transport-trained @gmpolice staff via the @BeeNetwork app to report concerns when travelling.

Great to hear from Andy Burnham, @mayorofgm.bsky.social, on the VCSE sector's crucial role, highlighting that good housing is vital for people’s health and creating a ‘live well’ approach at his speech during @thekingsfund.bsky.social conf on the 10-year plan for healthcare in England.
