Buses are the most-used form of public transport. They serve a vital role within communities, connecting people to key public services, such as schools and hospitals, local amenities, and work – with more people commuting by bus than all other forms of public transport combined¹. Overall, there are three times as many trips in England made by local bus than made by rail, with over 60% of public transport trips made by bus².
