Revision
Minor revisions have been made to the bus fares data following a detailed review of the processing methodology.
This review led to small improvements in how the data are processed and weighted, helping to ensure the statistics remain robust and reflective of the latest available information. These updates have been made to enhance accuracy and consistency. The overall impact on the published figures is minimal and mostly noticeable at more granular geographic levels, such as in Wales. The overall trends in bus fares remain unchanged.
We remain committed to maintaining high standards of data quality and transparency. Further details on the methodology and revisions are available in the accompanying technical documentation.
A full list of tables can be found in the table index.

Information from Jersey's public bus service including specific bus stops, locations and list of routes.
In the year ending March 2015, an estimated 83.4% of non-frequent bus services in England ran on time.
Most recent data | |
---|---|
Year | % on time |
year ending March 2014 | 83.1 |
year ending March 2015 | 82.9 |
Percentage point change | -0.2 |
In the year ending March 2015, an estimated 82.9% of non-frequent bus services in England ran on time (defined as between 1 minute early and 5 minutes 59 seconds late), an increase from 79.4% in 2007 to 2008. However, trends over time should be interpreted with caution as they can be affected by changes in methods used or reflect random variability arising from the nature of the data collection.
Frequent services do not operate in all areas. The proportion of non-frequent buses on time varies by local authority. In the year ending March 2015, the proportion ranged from 63% to 96%
Improved performance will see the on-time figures for ‘non-frequent’ bus services increase, and the excess waiting time for ‘frequent’ services decrease.
The data are supplied by local authorities and published by the Department for Transport - local authorities are given guidance to ensure consistency across the country, however as with all data collections there are likely to be some inconsistencies.
National figures are calculated by weighting the local authority data we receive; this weighting is based on the number of services in a particular local authority from the National Public Transport Data Repository (NPTDR) - further information is available in the measurement template.

TransXChange is the UK nationwide standard for exchanging bus schedules and related data.This dataset contains the registered bus services routes within the West Midlands by operator, service and direction and includes the frequency (number of buses) of the bus services in 30 min increments and a total for peak periods.The dataset is updated weekly.
The Department of Transportation (DOT) replaces standard bus sign poles with Real Time Passenger Information (RTPI) bus signs at numerous locations throughout New York City. The project's initiative is to update the visual look of the current bus stop pole flag design by adding small LED screens next to each bus route that denote the number of minutes until the arrival of the next bus. Additionally, each sign includes a push-button activated audio announcement of the real-time bus arrival information.

Proportion running on time and excess waiting times for bus services. Punctuality is generally measured according to the guidance provided by the Department for Transport on the CLIP website.
TfL Live bus arrivals (released in October 2011), is the largest real-time bus arrival information system in the world. It allows customers to view live arrival information for the 19,000 bus stops in London via web, mobile web and SMS. This API gives registered developers access to a scalable feed of the same real-time data used by the online Live bus arrival service. Note: Using unsupported channels to source the data severely affects TFL's ability to support customers using the website during peak hours. It also contravenes the terms of use. TFL are unable to endorse or promote individual apps based on the feed, as part of this process. To register for the API, and for the terms and conditions, visit the TfL Developers’ Area. Some ideas Apps developers can add this data to their travel tools: The 'Bus stops near you' location services can be refined using device-optimised applications Use the data to develop apps for visually impaired passengers Allow passengers to view the predicted arrival times (for the next 30 minutes) for a chosen bus route Venue owners could include their bus stop code with their listing details, allowing customers to easily find nearby bus stops
