Cumbria County Council has various public transport objectives as part of its Local Transport Plan 2001-2006:
- To provide a safe and secure public transport system for all users
- To provide access to employment opportunities
- To provide choice and quality
- To meet all the physical needs of the travelling public
- To provide an integrated timetable and fares system
The Council sets out to achieve these objectives by close working with public transport operators and the other bodies responsible for public transport provision, such as the Traffic Commissioners.
Our Public Transport Team provides a comprehensive information service on all the County's bus, coach, train and ferry operators. In partnership with the public transport operators we aim to secure an integrated public transport network that meets the needs of the community and visitors. The County Council provides financial support on many bus services throughout Cumbria, often through the Rural Bus Grant.
The links to the left will lead you to more information based on transport type i.e. buses, trains and lake ferries. There is also a link to explain more about the public transport information service 'Traveline'.
We value the comments and suggestions of public transport users. Please contact us and let us know what you think of this website and other sources of information available.
