Via has released a new episode of its ModeShift podcast featuring Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham, discussing the transformation of the city-region’s buses through the Bee Network.

During the episode, Burnham explores Greater Manchester’s decision to bring buses back under public control, the challenges of the previous deregulated system, and how the Bee Network is helping deliver more integrated and reliable public transport across the region.

The discussion also covers the wider economic and social impact of integrated transport, and the positive impacts of the Bee Network across Greater Manchester.

The episode is available here and on streaming platforms.
