The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to help improve local bus services.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The government is committed to delivering better, more frequent and more reliable bus services for passengers. We have already made significant progress, introducing the Bus Services Bill to help give local leaders the powers they need to take control of their local services if they choose to do so, and announcing investment of over £1 billion to support and improve bus services.
