Bus services across England are set to receive £90 million to make them greener, more efficient and easier to use, Transport Minister Norman Baker has announced. The Government believes that the funding will deliver better services for passengers in a way that will cut carbon and deliver growth.
“英国政府将出资0.9亿英镑用于改善全英巴士服务，进而建立一种更环保，更高效，更便捷的公交使用体系。”英国交通部长诺曼•贝克如是说到。英国政府认为，通过这一举措，乘客们将享受着更好的巴士服务,而且这在一定程度上，能够吸引市民乘坐巴士，进而减少二氧化碳等汽车尾气的排量。

A new £50 million Better Bus Areas fund is an initiative which will see bus operators working in partnership with local authorities to increase passenger numbers. Successful bids must have the backing of at least one major local bus operator. Bids could include measures to reduce congestion, provide better information to passengers, make improvements to bus stations or encourage people to switch to buses from the car in densely populated urban areas.
为了吸引市民公交出行，英国政府还出资了0.5亿英镑鼓励巴士运营商与当地政府共同行动以建立更完善的巴士区域建设。 获得资助的竞价成功者，一来，至少获得一家当地巴士运营商的支持，二来，其竞价方案须包含以下方案：如何减少交通拥挤现象，如何为乘客提供更有用的信息，如何改善巴士汽车站以及在人口密集的城市地区，如何鼓励人们少开私家车，多乘公交车。
