Greater Manchester launches all-electric Bee Network bus service in new area

A new all-electric bus service is being introduced as part of Greater Manchester's Bee Network, according to Secret Manchester. The report does not specify the exact area, fleet size or operator details. The Bee Network is the region's integrated public transport system.

Why it matters: The expansion signals continued electrification of Greater Manchester's bus fleet and may create charging infrastructure opportunities for operators serving the Bee Network. Procurement teams should monitor which areas are being electrified and the charging requirements for new routes.
