What an international comparison reveals about the UK public transport provision
How do UK bus networks perform when measured against international peers? This one-pager moves beyond domestic metrics like the DfT Connectivity Tool to provide an outward-looking analysis of transport provision. By comparing two geographically similar conurbation - Swindon (129 km from London) and Orléans (132 km from Paris) - the study utilises standardised GTFS data to evaluate absolute frequency, network coverage, and multimodal integration. Download the file and explore how different regulatory frameworks and integrated Demand Responsive Transport (DRT) models influence accessibility, offering transport planners a broader perspective on what can be achieved through diverse service delivery models.
