These routes receive either full or joint funding from the council, enhancing their frequency and adjusting routes to better serve local communities.

Councillor Sam Smith, Leader of Nottinghamshire County Council, said: “Nottinghamshire is ranked as the best county area for buses in the country based on current Transport Focus data.

“It is no surprise really that our buses are ranked as the best county area as your county council is committed to making sure that every community has a reliable bus service.

“Across Nottinghamshire, we are really proud of our funding for local bus services, and it is important to remember that to do this, we work closely with local bus operators.

Councillor Neil Clarke MBE, Cabinet Member for Transport and Environment at Nottinghamshire County Council, said: “In Nottinghamshire we have a great reputation for public transport, including a 90% passenger satisfaction rating based on the 2024 survey data.

“We spend more than £9 million a year supporting local bus services and this is a significant investment to ensure that Nottinghamshire is well connected by bus.

“Our support for bus services is particularly important because without it we know that many services would be reduced or withdrawn.

“We have worked closely with bus operators for a number of years now as part of our Bus Service Improvement Plan and this won’t change as we know that there is more work to do when it comes to bus service improvements and making sure that every community has access to a reliable and affordable service.”
