Bee network bosses hope school services problems are in past

BEE Network bosses have said they hope school bus 'teething issues' are 'a thing of the past' following a wave of complaints. Every Greater Manchester bus service came under Transport for Greater Manchester's (TfGM) control on January 5, concluding a 'franchising' process which began in September 2023.

January's 'tranche' of franchising included half of all buses, covering a swathe of southern Greater Manchester. TfGM chiefs warned of 'teething problems' ahead of the shake-up, as they had been experienced in other parts of the city-region previously.

However, the main complaints came from parents of children using the bus to get to school in Tameside and Stockport.
