A Bus Punctuality Improvement Partnership between local councils and bus operators has been set up for the first time in Scotland, to help make journeys more efficient.
The scheme will collect real-time information on the time taken on four Dundee and Angus routes, which will then be used to look at where and how precious minutes can be shaved off journey times.
Data on the 13, 14, 22 and 73 routes has been collected every 21 seconds, detailing where each vehicle is on its route and what it is doing, since 1 January. Dundee City and Angus councils have teamed up with National Express Dundee and Stagecoach, with the support of the Scottish Government, to run the pilot. Leading figures in the industry including transport minister, Stewart Stevenson, and traffic commissioner for Scotland, Joan Aitken, were at the launch in Dundee to witness the official partnership signing ceremony.
