Summary: Between 7 and 13 April 2024, we’ve seen more Bee Network bus services running on-time than non-Bee Network bus services over the same period, as well as for the same period last year.
Latest punctuality data shows more buses are on time on the Bee Network. This week, 84.4% of Bee Network buses were on time, compared to 82.2% last week.
About the data:
The Bee Network Punctuality table has three columns showing the percentage of bus services running ‘on time’ each day in a 7-day period.
Please note - this data does not include services that joined the Bee Network on 24 March 2024
It shows:
- Pre-Bee Network punctuality: Results for the same period in 2023, before those bus services joined the Bee Network.
- Bee Network punctuality: Results for current Bee Network services.
- Non-Bee Network punctuality: Results for buses in Greater Manchester that are not yet part of the Bee Network.
This allows you to compare past and present performance. The Senior Traffic Commissioner (responsible for licensing and regulating bus services) classes services running between one minute early and five minutes late as ‘on time’. This allows for road traffic conditions which can affect bus running times.
