THE CONNECTED CITY
A SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY FOR BRIGHTON & HOVE

What we plan to do

  • Improve access to and at public transport interchanges e.g. all rail stations, bus stops, taxi ranks, etc
  • Increase availability of public transport information, such as real-time information displays
  • Reduce journey times and improve punctuality and reliability of services across whole bus network - particularly on routes serving outlying communities
  • Explore opportunities to provide / improve bus services to the suburbs/outlying communities
  • Promote integrated ticketing/smart cards for local public transport, e.g including exploring possible use of the London Oyster card
  • Increase level of rail services at weekends to provide a 7-day / week railway and achieve better co-ordination of train engineering works to support the city as a tourist destination
  • Develop and provide a bus-based Coastal Transport System, linked with improved access to local railway stations where possible, to move people efficiently to and between major housing, leisure, retail, tourism and employment sites such as Shoreham Harbour
  • Review and update the council’s Taxi and Private Hire Statement to assist in improving infrastructure and access and to reduce congestion
