Greater Manchester Transport Authority Oldham 2026
Greater Manchester's transport authority oversees 5.6 million daily journeys across roads, trains, trams and buses. The Bee Network aims to create a unified, greener transport system under local control, with bus services already brought under local management - the first city region outside London to do so. The authority manages 400 miles of Key Route Network, owns bus stations and shelters, and plans to integrate eight local rail routes by 2028. Working with ten planning authorities, it focuses on affordable travel, air quality improvement, and cycling infrastructure. Funded by council tax, government grants and bids, the authority reports to Mayor Andy Burnham and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority.
