PLANS to bring buses in Greater Manchester back under public control are progressing as leaders agree to buy new electric buses and bus depots.
The Bee Network - the name given to the new London-style integrated public transport system - is set to be rolled out across the region by the end of 2024.
Fares are set to be slashed to £2 for a single journey from September using government-funded subsidies - but bus firms are yet to sign up to the deal.
Leaders have also agreed to buy 50 zero-emission buses for Wigan and Bolton where the first publicly controlled buses will operate from in September 2023.
