London Buses has become one of the emblems of the Mayor’s transport strategy for London. New routes, new buses and new technology are delivering the vision of a high quality, reliable and affordable service that meets customers’ expectations and plays a key part in the wider strategy of managing traffic, keeping London as an economically successful city. However, market needs are a moving target and bus operators always face new challenges in both operational and business terms. This conference provides an invaluable occasion to hear from those at the heart of the organisations that are defining and delivering improved quality and sustained passenger growth, whilst keeping pace with an evolving market and economic realities.
