Buses across South Yorkshire are an essential lifeline for many – but, over the last decade, the number of people using them has fallen by 18 per cent.

Earlier this year, Mayor of the Sheffield City Region, Dan Jarvis announced a review into the bus network across South Yorkshire to see what improvements could be made.

Mayor Jarvis selected Clive Betts MP to undertake the review, who in turn appointed a panel of commissioners to support him in his review.

The commissioners are asking all residents, community groups and business their views about how the bus service could be improved.

The Bus Review survey is available here.

The Invitation to submit written evidence is here

The closing date for the survey is Friday 18 October 2019.
