Before discussions, there will also be an update on the BSIP provided by ESCC and updates from transport providers.

The EABUG meetings intend to provide a space for discussions around developing more accessible and improved bus services across the region, connecting bus users with service providers – a chance to provide direct feedback.

The meeting hopes to build on the momentum of the first meeting in October 2024, which drew strong interest from both the public, transport providers and local councillors.
