TXC-PTI extension for Flexible Bus Services
25 August 2023
Gov.uk has recently sent this information regarding the Bus Open Data Digital Service which we think will be useful for certain operators and are therefore outlining it below. Our regulatory team has significant experience in this area and are happy to answer any queries if you contact us here.
There are an increasing number of flexible bus services operating and in some cases providing the only public transport provision in an area. As part of our commitment to supporting the evolving landscape of bus transportation, an extension to the TXC-PTI document to provide guidance on the provision of data for flexible bus services is now available.
The document sets out how to supply compliant data to the Bus Open Data Service for flexible registered services to allow information on these services to be accurately reflected to the public by data consumers, and support technology suppliers to create the tools to enable this.
The services supported
• Do not have a fixed timetable
• Have a route which may be determined by the requests made by passengers
• Include those where passengers may need to book in advance of using the service
• Are open to anyone who lives in the area where the services operate
