The tap-in and tap-out transport system that will transform how people get around Greater Manchester
Buses, trams and trains in Greater Manchester are to be connected under one system like London's by 2030. Passengers will be able to tap-in and tap-out on different modes of public transport thanks to a new deal with the government.
It includes 'full multi-modal fares' and 'ticketing integration' on the public transport system and will see the Bee Network branding on the railways. Mr Burnham is already in the process of bringing buses under public control with the first franchised services to be rolled out in Wigan and Bolton in September.
The Labour mayor said: "By 2030, we will have a situation where for people who live just outside of Greater Manchester, let's say in Buxton or Southport, they will be able to tap in there, but enter the Greater Manchester system and that will mean that public transport becomes a much more attractive and affordable option for lots of people who commute into Greater Manchester.
