Transport Focus
Government Administration
We are the voice of Britain’s transport user.
About us
We protect the interests and champion the needs of all transport users. We ensure they’re at the centre of tomorrow’s policy decisions and that future investment in the transport network is focused on their needs and experiences. We listen to the public and find out their experience of using, or trying to use, Great Britain’s railways and England’s buses, coaches, trams and motorways and major ‘A’ roads. We bring together transport providers and share these views so problems can be fixed but if they are more challenging to resolve, publish an improvement plan. Our analysis, drawn from data and insight across the industry, puts the voice of the transport user at the heart of decision making – in Westminster, Cardiff, Holyrood and with the Mayors of our great city regions. Follow us on X @transportfocus and our Chief Executive @AlexRobertsonTF.

83% of bus passengers in Scotland are satisfied with the length of time their journey took. In theory, journey time is fixed and should be as it appears on the timetable. However, the reality is different... Find out more: https://ow.ly/S5h550Te6Kb #YourBusJourney | #CatchTheBusMonth

Our Head of Policy, Mike Hewitson, spoke to BBC Radio 2's Jeremy Vine about the need to reform penalty fares, and differentiating between passengers who’ve made a genuine mistake, and deliberate fare-dodgers. Those who have made an innocent mistake and been caught out by the many rules and restrictions should be treated with understanding and not immediately assumed to be guilty.

Celebrating 15 years of dedicated service, Linda McCord has been a driving force in improving transport for passengers at Transport Focus. From her work with rail operators to leading the West Midlands Bus Alliance, Linda’s impact has been profound—so much so that a bus was named in her honour! As Linda embarks on her well-deserved retirement, she leaves behind a legacy of positive change across the transport industry. We wish her the best as she now channels her passion into art and continues her work with Babylon Arts. Thank you, Linda!

For Transport Focus colleague Miranda, taking her 85-year-old mother, who has mobility issues, by train to ABBA Voyage was daunting - but she was pleasantly surprised. Sadly, this isn't always the case for disabled passengers. Find out more in our latest blog: https://ow.ly/u14E50T2950 #ThankYouForTheJourney Transport for London. #ABBA #Passengers #Railway
