CRSTS - Bath City Centre Phase3 - Bath Bus Infrastructure Improvements

The Bath City Centre Phase 3 project — now renamed the Bath Bus Infrastructure Improvements (BBIP) project — aims to deliver an Outline Business Case (OBC) by March 2027. The project will focus on improving bus infrastructure within Bath to enhance the reliability and efficiency of bus services.

Bath’s current bus network is experiencing increasing delays, longer journey times, and lower than expected customer satisfaction. These issues are expected to worsen if no action is taken, particularly in light of forecast housing growth identified through the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) targets. The BBIP project will therefore review and shortlist a package of infrastructure options aimed at improving bus reliability and addressing these challenges.
