- W565634608 abstract "This report is concerned with the decline in bus use in recent times in English Public Transport Executive (PTE) areas, the former metropolitan county areas. Overall bus use has declined by 50% in these areas in the last 20 years, while fares have risen and service levels, measured in terms of miles operated, have fallen. The decline in demand has been faster than inthe Shire counties where bus use has also fallen, and this contrasts withthe situation in London, where bus use has increased. The decline in bus use in Britain's biggest cities outside London is at direct odds with national and local government transport policy. The policy framework to deal with declining bus use in PTE areas is currently subject to debate. Privatesector operators can chose which services they wish to operate and can set their own fares. The PTEs can fill gaps in the commercial network by competitive tendering of supported services, provide information on the various bus services available and they are responsible for concessionary travel arrangements. However neither the PTEs nor the operators have been able to arrest or reverse the decline in bus use. Measures in the 2000 Transport Act have also not proved successful in reversing decline. The bus industry has become increasingly concentrated in the hands of five large operators, who operate about 90% of mileage in PTE areas. While these operators are profitable in PTE areas, they are likely to continue increasing fares and reducing services in the face of declining demand. Voluntary partnerships in the form of quality bus corridors have been introduced in all PTE areas and have led to an increase in bus use. There have often been difficulties in securing effective bus priority improvements from the districts. It is considered that other pro-bus interventions will be required to reverse the decline in patronage, and that these will require improvements to bus speeds and reliability, especially at peak periods. Statistics are provided for the Merseyside, Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, Tyne + Wear and West Midlands PTEs.
