The Bus Centre of Excellence (BCoE) is a collaborative initiative designed to enhance the capabilities of the bus sector in the UK. Capitalized through the National Bus Strategy and funded by the Department for Transport, BCoE offers a comprehensive program that focuses on resource access, skill development, and knowledge sharing. This platform is tailored for professionals in the bus industry, including Local Transport Authority officers and elected members.

BCoE delivers bespoke training courses, industry-led events, and a wealth of resources including guidance on bus franchising and strategies to improve bus patronage. Key initiatives support the development of inclusive and sustainable bus services, fostering a peer network for sharing best practices across public and private sectors.

Led by experts with extensive backgrounds in transport, such as Leon Daniels and Sue Percy, BCoE is at the forefront of driving innovation and performance in bus services. This initiative ultimately aims to enrich the passenger experience and broaden bus usage across the nation.
