Purpose: Cabinet agreed that a new network of bus services and DRT would operate from March 2025. The new services would be affordable, sustainable and accessible giving residents the best option opportunity to access work, learning, health and leisure services. Operating a significant DRT service requires extensive experience and back-office systems to operate the service efficiently. Lincolnshire County Council already operates DRT in the County and are best placed to manage and deliver the expanded service including the passenger booking service. The changes are necessary to deliver the MTFS savings of £300k for local bus service provision.
