Leicester City Council, GB Buses Partnership unites operators for sustainable and simplified transit
Leicester City Council, GB Buses Partnership Operators
An eight-year plan with six local operators seeks a unified system that is electric, frequent, and reliable. The Leicester Buses Partnership kicked off with a Tap On Tap Off digital system for simplified fares no matter the trip length. Five electric bus routes were introduced as of October 2022 including the 30-mile Orbital route, the longest of its type in the United Kingdom. A new depot operated by Centrebus supports electric bus charging between routes.
