Destination: Bee Network

Welcome to Destination: Bee Network

The Bee Network is our vision for an integrated transport system which will join together buses, trams, cycling and walking by 2024, with rail incorporated by 2030, to transform how people travel in Greater Manchester.  

Through Destination: Bee Network we will be talking to you the people of Greater Manchester, to ask your opinions, show you the direction in which we are heading and help build the network based on your wants and needs.

Our hope, is that designing and delivering public transport as one system with local control and accountability, using the Bee, a long respected regional emblem, to represent the promise of a high-quality, inclusive transport experience. 

Accessible, affordable and easy to use, with a daily fare cap and single multi-modal ticket, the Bee Network will support seamless end-to-end journeys. 

This web page is the place to visit to find out more about where we are on our journey. Our animation tells the story, and our public definition makes clear what our ambitions are.

We also want to hear directly from you.

Look out for more details on our social channels and keep checking back to this page to find out more.

Destination: Bee Network Conversation

By getting involved in the Destination: Bee Network Conversation, you can help bring the vision to life based on what's most important to you. Topics include what you'd expect the Bee Network values and standards to be, how safe you feel travelling on the network, the GM bus of the future, and whether you'd like to see dogs and bikes on trams.

There are several ways to have your say. You can complete the Bee Network Conversation online survey, which will be open until 12 November. If you have any questions or need support to complete the survey form, please email: engagement@tfgm.com

You can also visit the Destination: Bee Network bus on its tour of GM throughout October and November. The table below lets you know where we'll be and when, please drop by to see the bus and have a chat with our friendly staff.

Targeted engagement sessions are also being run throughout the period to bring people and partners across GM together to discuss priorities for the Bee Network.

Feedback gathered through the public events, survey and engagement sessions will help to inform further development of our integrated, inclusive transport network that is designed for Greater Manchester, by Greater Manchester.

Please share the link to this webpage amongst your friends, families, and communities so they can join us on the journey. Use the hashtag #BeeNetwork when sharing on social media channels to help us create a buzz.
