Subsidised bus services to continue
Bus passengers in Derbyshire are to keep services paid for by us as plans to cut public transport funding are reviewed. It had been proposed to withdraw funding for around 144 subsidised services from October 2017. Following consultation where more than 90% of respondents said they disagreed with the plan, we have now agreed to provide £3m to continue funding some of these services.
The future of individual services has yet to be decided but we will be working closely with operators to see if some can be run commercially. We will also continue to review the whole of the bus network, streamlining less well-used services by reducing their frequency and joining up other services to reduce duplication.
New Derbyshire Connect service
A new-style bus service - Derbyshire Connect - is now running. Passengers need to book, but can travel at variable times and from and to anywhere within the Derbyshire Connect zone, making it a much more flexible service than a timetabled bus with fixed routes.
Changes to the b_line scheme
From 1 August 2015 there were changes to our b_line travel, discount and library card scheme for young people living in Derbyshire. It has been extended to include apprentices, young people on training courses and those working or looking for work, up to the age of 19, as well as school and college students. b_line1 cards are for 11 to 16-year-olds and b_line2 cards for 16 to 18 year-olds, who qualify for up to 25% off adult fares on local buses and trains.
Online bus timetable library
The online bus timetable library has downloadable timetables of Derbyshire bus services in PDF format.
This online library enables you to find the current timetables and to see new ones due to start in the near future.
