The Bus services around the Christmas and New Year period will often operate differently to normal weeks. 

The data for use in services such as the Department for Transport Bus Open Data Service , Traveline, journey planners, real time systems and mobile phone apps all need to be updated to reflect the changed operation. 

This advice deals with how to prepare data for the BODS and other systems to ensure that it is correct for the Christmas and New Year 2024-25 holiday period. 

With the near ubiquitous provision of location data for the bus fleet in the UK within reach, it is timely to consider why different information may be presented to the passenger on different outputs.

This report sets out to address this gap in understanding.

In recent years, there has been renewed interest in the digital provision of priority to public transport at signalised junctions. 

Existing work from RTIG: specifically, the documents T008 andT031, provide the specification and methodology for the transmission of data from public service vehicles, such as buses and trams, to traffic signals. These provide technical frameworks to provide priority for public transport vehicles at signalised junctions in an interoperable manner.
