Passengers have faced disruption as the first buses in Greater Manchester are brought under public control
Andy Burnham has promised that bus services will get better after a 'bumpy' start to the new Bee Network this week. The Greater Manchester mayor apologised to passengers who have experienced disruption to services since buses were taken under public control in Bolton and Wigan on Sunday .
Speaking on BBC Radio Manchester this morning , Mr Burnham said he understands the frustration felt by passengers facing disruption over the last few days. But he said things are already improving. "No getting away from it. And I would just want to say sorry to anybody who experienced any disruption to the services over those two days.
Mr Burnham thanked staff at Transport for Greater Manchester for the 'monumental' overnight change which saw a fifth of the city-region's bus services brough under public control. This involved some services changing operators, 50 new electric buses being rolled out and a new IT system being put in place.
