About the data
The Bee Network Punctuality charts have two columns showing the average percentage of bus services running ‘on time’ each day in a 4-week period.
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.
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.
