Making buses easier to access and understand

A suite of new bus maps showing the overall public transport network across Oxfordshire and in the county towns will be produced over the next 6 – 12 months. These maps will be in PDF format (or similar), full colour and easily printable to be used in interchanges, bus shelters and in other places for people to pick up. We will publish all new bus maps on this website.

Installation of new and upgraded Real Time Passenger Information (RTPI) displays at bus stops and key public transport hubs and interchanges (including rail stations) is underway using £1.8m of Government funding. The RTPI displays use live bus tracking information (where available) to accurately predict arrival times of buses. The new displays will also all be configured to provide at stop announcements for users of the React Access Trigger mobile phone application.

Alongside a rolling plan of targeted investment in new poles, flags, timetable cases and bus shelters at specific locations, the Council aims to establish minimum standards across its entire estate of bus stops. This will ensure a more consistent offering across the County in terms of standards, facilities and accessibility at bus stops. The first step in this is to undertake an audit of existing bus stop infrastructure, which is expected to take place, with the assistance of Parish Councils, in the second half of 2024/25.
