Your chance to have a say about public transport

Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Authority (GMPTA) is changing the way it, and public transport service providers, engage with public transport users.


Forty surgeries have been scheduled (4 per district) for the coming 12 months and they hope to achieve as wide publicity coverage as possible in the Greater Manchester area.

They want to encourage those public transport users who have concerns/complaints about local bus, train and tram services, stops and stations, but do not have time to attend a formal meeting or write a letter, to drop by and raise the issue(s) by speaking directly to their local transport operators and officers of GMPTE/A.

Below is a list of the dates, venues and times of the new surgeries scheduled for the period February - July 2008. A further list will be produced later in the year for the period August 2008 - January 2009.
