description

This relates to School Bus 'Closed Contracts'.
Category 3. Truro Park and Ride - £4.5m (approximate)
This relates to the Truro service operating between the Langarth (Western) and Tregurra (Eastern) transport hubs in the city of Truro.
Each of the Categories above will be subdivided into individual Lots. In total there will be 334 Lots offered for Tender.
The Council's desired outcomes from the Tender are:
| 1. | Improved modal integration across public transport; |
| 2. | An improved customer experience and accessibility to essential services; |
| 3. | A high quality and reliable public transport network; |
| 4. | Increase patronage; |
