🇸🇬 Singapore's Land #Transport Authority (LTA) is studying the feasibility of introducing a Bus Rapid #Transit (BRT) system in Tuas South to improve public transport links for workers travelling to existing and future MRT stations. The area, which includes Tuas Port, is expected to see continued growth in businesses, jobs and commuter demand. BRT is a medium-capacity transport mode that bridges the gap between conventional #buses and the MRT. Operating mainly on dedicated lanes with traffic signal priority, it can provide faster, more reliable journeys while requiring less infrastructure than rail systems. LTA said #BRT could be a cost-effective and flexible option for medium-density areas such as Tuas South. It will assess different BRT technologies and evaluate their costs, benefits and long-term suitability before deciding whether to proceed.

St Helens’ bus network will return to public control from 6 September, bringing more frequent services, better evening and weekend timetables, extended routes and a new express service to Liverpool John Lennon #Airport. Services running every two hours will become hourly, while route changes will improve links to hospitals, colleges and rail stations. Around 5,000 more residents will live within 400 metres of a bus stop. A new fleet of low-emission, UK-built #buses with air conditioning, USB charging, improved accessibility and audio-visual announcements will operate across the network. The changes form part of the #Liverpool City Region Combined Authority’s bus franchising programme, with a new #transport interchange also under construction in St Helens town centre. Public control will be extended across the city region in phases through to the end of 2027.

#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release:
#TfL said all London buses are designed to improve comfort in hot weather with reflective roofs, insulation and opening windows, while all double-deck buses have air cooling on the upper deck. TfL said it regularly inspects heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems, with checks since May focusing on air conditioning. Among the Golders Green area routes listed, only the 210 and 268 currently have air conditioning throughout the bus, based on the most common vehicle used, although vehicles may vary. TfL added that more than 3,000 zero-emission #buses are now in service and all new electric buses feature improved air cooling, with stronger air conditioning being introduced on newer models. Passenger temperatures are controlled automatically according to outside conditions.

Single bus fares in England to be capped at €2.34. [Currently €3.51].
This is a big deal. It needs to move towards cheap, multi-modal and monthly passes but this is a good start.

CW: Article: Contactless Transport in London vs Paris
Paris is rolling-out contactless tap-in payments for its transport network. Sounds like London's... except that Paris's includes a "convenience tax" that seems to disproportionately target short-term visitors. What might this say about each city's relationship with tourism?

🚍🛡️ #Transport for #London has finally released the sixth edition of the Big Red Book, setting out standards for safe, accessible and professional bus operation.
• The guidance supports Vision Zero, aiming to eliminate deaths and serious injuries on London’s roads by 2041, with no deaths on or by a bus by 2030.
• Drivers must complete vehicle checks, follow safe driving rules, protect vulnerable road users and provide accessible customer service, including wheelchair priority and support for passengers with non-visible disabilities.
• Live PA updates are encouraged during disruption. Emergency procedures include SCC Code Red and Code Blue, the “Guardian” code word for harassment, and the HOT protocol for suspicious items.
• #Buses remain cashless, with ticketing using contactless, Oyster and concessionary passes.
• Drivers should avoid fare disputes, assist vulnerable passengers, cooperate with inspectors, complete checks and handle lost items.

#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release:
#TfL has published details on fare evasion following a request for enforcement data. The release states that TfL does not issue Fixed Penalty Notices for fare evasion but instead records Penalty Fare Notices. During 2025/26, 69,001 penalty fares were issued across #buses, DLR, Elizabeth line, London Overground, London #Underground and trams. TfL said it has increased enforcement activity through more than 500 authorised officers and aims to halve fare evasion by 2030. TfL does not hold a complete record of unpaid journeys, but publishes estimated fare evasion rates. The highest 2025/26 average rate was on trams at 7.3%, followed by London Underground at 5.0%. Staff guidance focuses on encouraging correct payment while prioritising safety when dealing with incidents.

#Norfolk County Council has visited First Bus's Great Yarmouth depot to see a £13.8 million investment aimed at improving local bus services. The project includes 10 new electric double-deck #buses and new charging infrastructure, funded through an £8.9 million contribution from First Bus and support from the council's Bus Service Improvement Plan. The buses mainly serve Service 8, linking Caister-on-Sea, Great Yarmouth, Gorleston and the James Paget #University Hospital. Council and First Bus representatives said the investment will deliver quieter, more reliable journeys while supporting the transition to greener transport. The depot, which employs 156 people, also supports engineering apprentices, with the new charging facilities expected to open to commercial #EV operators through the First Charge network in the future.

Passengers affected by Metrolink renewal works can get up to 20 minutes of free Starling Bikes travel each day until 2 August. The offer gives 10 free minutes for one inbound and one outbound journey when starting or ending trips at selected docking stations in Firswood, Chorlton and Salford Quays. The works, which include replacing 1.6km of track at Trafford Bar and Deansgate-Castlefield, mean no trams are running on the Altrincham, Trafford Centre and Eccles lines, while East Didsbury and #Manchester Airport services terminate at Firswood with replacement buses. Transport for Greater Manchester is encouraging passengers to plan ahead using the Bee Network app or website and consider alternatives including £2 Bee Network #buses, #trains, walking and cycling. Extra bikes will be available where possible, but availability cannot be guaranteed.

The #Transport Department (TD) has approved a pilot licence for an autonomous vehicle (AV) trial between Hong Kong Science Park and MTR University Station under the Road Traffic (Autonomous Vehicles) Regulation. Two 12-seat autonomous light #buses will operate on a set route linking the two locations, with a backup operator on board at all times and pilot AV labels displayed. Funded by the Smart Traffic Fund, the trial will assess the vehicles' performance in complex road conditions, including roundabouts and a public transport interchange, while gathering data to support future development. The #Government said road safety remains its priority and that findings will help refine technical standards, regulations and future AV deployment. The TD also encouraged organisations to apply for AV pilot licences, with applications assessed under its code of practice.
