Buses and the Economy II

This study is a follow-up to our 2012 report for Greener Journeys on Buses and Economic Growth.

Among the key facilitating roles of the bus are: providing access to jobs, access to shopping and leisure facilities especially in town and city centres and as a form of social insurance fall back.
