The UK government has introduced ambitious goals for the UK to become net-zero carbon by 2050 and transport is the largest source of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the UK - damaging both the environment and public health.

In addition, the UK government’s recent De-Carbonising Transport report outlines a strategy for reducing overall car use, promoting the “natural first choice” to be public transport and emissions-free modes of travel like walking and cycling.

We have discussed for a couple of years the impending update to SIRI.

The updates have now reach the formal consultation stage of the CEN standards process.

During this stage the documents are available for review to identify editing errors, inconsistencies and similar.

The latest TransXChange v2.4 Public Transport Information profile has been released.

The current version is now 1.1.A, updated from v 1.1 on 5 July 2021.
Version 1.1.A is the version that the Bus Open Data Service will be using.

The v1.1.A is an update to v1.1, the changes largely being updates to fix implementation issues and inclusion of information on the BODS validator.

A track changes version and slide deck of the differences is available on the PTIC website:
