    Metrobus Operation

    Draft response Overall Category Sub category Issue/Question In order to secure operation of MetroBus services the Local Authorities intend to make a Quality Partnership MetroBus Scheme (QPS). A QPS is a statutory arrangement under which the transport authorities provide and maintain MetroBus must be fast, frequent, affordable and reliable. Only if facilities and in return bus operators are permitted to use those facilities if they meet the specific ‘service operation these objectives are guaranteed to be met is the scheme standards’ set out in the QPS. The ‘service standards’ for MetroBus services include minimum frequencies & Objectives worthwhile implementing. If the Council does not operate timings, maximum fares, ticketing requirements and vehicle quality standards (including emission standards). MetroBus and it is operated by a private operator then how can the required level of service be guaranteed? It is planned for the same approach to be employed to secure operation of services on the CPME . In addition, new legislation to be introduced during this parliament will extend the powers that are available to Local Authorities.

They are encouraging towns and parishes to prepare their own plans with a view to these being incorporated within the Local Plan.

Once approved by Town Council it will be publicized for feedback from residents. Following this and consequent upon developments with the JSP and Local Plan, more detail will be added. Summary of Town Vision • Increased and balanced population • Carefully designed housing developments to a masterplan • A town with safe access throughout for pedestrians and cyclists • Effective and responsive public transport throughout the town so as to minimize car use • Efficient and readily accessible public transport for commuters • A thriving town centre where residents will want to live, meet and socialize as well as shop • A range of leisure activities

Christina Biggs – Rail and Transport Issues (Pages 16-18) 4. Andy O’Brien - WECA’s transport thinking and funding strategies (Pages 19-167) STATEMENT 1 – DICK DANIEL I am submitting the BATA reasons for instead investing in a tram / light-rail network for Bristol, Bath and the region. A proposal which will actually get people to switch from cars to trams, as I say in the submission, a switch that has never been demonstrated by buses, we are not against buses, we want buses, we want trams to be the backbone feed and linked to a comprehensive network of bus routes. I have also attached a chart showing the rise in passages numbers of the Manchester tram Metrolink, which has increased the numbers traveling by tram almost every year and now stands at 44.3 million journeys in the 2019/20 financial year. Also a short video of trams in the historic centre of Seville. A more technical document on the 'Technical, sociological and economic reasons why trams are an essential backbone to a bus based transport system’. Best regards Dick Dick Daniel BATA Board Member https://bathtrams.uk 1 BATH AREA TRAMS ASSOCIATION WECA 16th October 2020 The UK now has a growing list of cities and city-regions that has discovered that investing in trams / light-rail pays off. These are following the lead of cities around Europe and the world, including the USA, regions that are at the forefront of taking action on climate change, healthy active citizens and are highly economically productive.
