The Council has always sought to support appropriate public bus services in Shropshire. The implications on people’s ability to access essential services, social exclusion, rural isolation, economic and environmental impact are important elements when considering service provision. The subsidised network is in addition to those services which are provided on a commercial basis within the County. The Council currently hold 29 subsidised local bus service contracts. These contracts are awarded to a number of local bus operators following an open market tender process. Contracts are for a maximum 5 year duration before retender. Current revenue spend on the subsidised network is circa £1.8m per annum.
