DfT 'Bus Back' National Strategy

Recommendations include:
- Two operators using the same service number in the same town should only occur when the route is the same and in that case tickets should be interchangeable between operators.
- Network maps should be available and shouldn't be operator specific.
- Uniform timetable change dates for all operators.
- Consistency between services running weekday daytime and weekday evenings and weekends.
- Better through ticketing.
- Contactless payment on all buses.
- Local bus services to be advertised at railway stations.
- Bikes spaces on rural buses.

It seems to be hinting at bus franchising in areas with a metro mayor.
