Big step forward for our borough as the 83 service will run 24 hours a day Thursday to Saturday, linking Manchester, Failsworth, Hollinwood, Werneth & Oldham town centre. A proper night bus to get people to work at night, home safely, and give a real boost to our night time economy.
Across the Bee Network, services are expanding fast. In the year to March 2025, distance covered grew more than twice the national average, with another 2.5 million kilometres being added.
This is only possible because Greater Manchester took back control of buses, the first place to do so in 40 years.
After Andy Burnham set out plans for a decade of good growth backed by at least £500m, taking the GM Good Growth Fund close to £2bn, we are getting on with delivering it.
£2 fares extended, free travel for the 8,000 children in temporary accommodation, and a network that is affordable, accessible, connected, and clean. Buses run in the public interest, better services for our community.
