BIG news for the @BeeNetwork!

The Government is backing it with £2.5 billion to become the UK’s first fully-integrated, all-electric public transport system by 2030. 🐝

Congratulations to @andyburnham.bsky.social and all those that campaigned to bring #Manchester #buses back under public control. Now let’s do this everywhere!
#BeeNetwork
Despite all of the challenges - legal and meteorological - we did it!

After 40 years of damaging deregulation, Greater Manchester has this morning successfully retaken control of the whole its bus network. 🙌🏻

GM is growing fast.

We will expand @BeeNetwork over the next decade to meet the needs of our bigger economy.

BUT

There’s a limit to what we can do on a congested surface.

It’s why I am asking TfGM to start planning for an underground for GM around a remodelled Piccadilly.

A majority of tickets will cost less, some up to £1.50 per trip.

Any increases will be small (20p) and easily offset through extra flexibility.

The move paves the way for rail coming into the @BeeNetwork from 12/26.

Big thanks to @Heidi_Labour and the DfT team for backing us. 🙏🏻

Just reading Manchester's Street For All strategy document and saw this cute graphic. That massive queue of cars you see is actually only a few people.

Mass transit as it should be! It’s all go at the junction of Corporation and Balloon Street just outside Victoria; Manchester shows how it’s done. Yellow everywhere, and the cutest little ‘toot’ horns!

Absolutely right @owenjones.bsky.social

Control is not the same as ownership

🚌On buses we need public control of networks (like the successful BeeNetwork we campaigned for) AND publicly owned bus companies

💧💡On water and energy we need public ownership

You can travel for even less if you buy a new annual bus and tram pass through one of our credit unions.

So this is the moment to make a change. Leave the car at home, switch to the @BeeNetwork and save money. 👍🏻

Good work Andy, how about getting BeeNetwork active on Bluesky too?

On Monday 27th October, we will introduce the third brand new service to the @BeeNetwork - the 629 between Platt Bridge and Golborne. 👍🏻

👀 NEW: Councillors recommended to approve bikes to be permitted on trams in Greater Manchester 🚃 🐝
(not in busy times + other caveats)
Proud of small role I played helping bring this forward, enhancing overall accessibility of the #BeeNetwork
