Bee Network
The Bee Network is Greater Manchester’s vision for an integrated London-style transport system which will join together buses, trams, cycling, walking and rail.
Eventually, the Bee Network will be your one-stop-shop for all local public transport and active travel journeys.
Whether you’re catching the bus, tram, train or walking, cycling or wheeling, it will be:
- Easier to plan and pay for your journey
- Simpler to get around
- Great value, with capped fares and flexible tickets
- Accessible, with improved passenger information
- More reliable and more sustainable
The story so far…
- £70m pipeline of schemes under construction or in development
- 13km protected cycle lanes built since 2018 including CYCLOPS (Cycle Optimised Protected Signal) junctions – a UK first, based on Dutch best practice
- More major schemes coming in 2024 – Deansgate, Ancoats, Alan Turing Way
- Bee Network Cycle Hire – 1,500 bikes and e-bikes for public hire
- 1 million km ridden by June 2023: further than the Moon and back since November 2021
- 10-year vision for network of protected cycle lanes on major routes connected by quiet streets
