County council engineers have put together the transport package to improve public transport and to encourage more people to leave their cars at home and reduce congestion.
The package aims to:
- Ease the impact of congestion, particularly for buses, along King Street and Boot Hill
- Improve the quality of public transport by using newer buses and improving bus stops
- Modernise the bus network by introducing real time passenger information (RTPI) on buses and at bus stops
- Make it easier for people to use the bus and train by developing an interchange at the railway station
- Improve air quality and pedestrian safety
