Franchising is not just about contracts — it’s about data

Authorities across England that are introducing bus franchising are placing growing emphasis on data — from timetable and AVL feeds to ticketing, reporting and contract-performance systems. Publicly available franchising material shows a clear focus on operator data requirements, KPI monitoring, payment adjustment, network oversight and customer experience.

Join us for a timely discussion on why data matters in a franchised environment, what authorities need to manage networks effectively, and how stronger data can support better information for passengers, improved reliability and clearer accountability.

Hear from people who understand the issues from real experience including:

• Stagecoach
• Simon Reed
• Snapper
• Elydium
