Sadiq Khan wants to better understand the needs of bus passengers through first hand experience and see for himself what standard of service they are receiving across the regions. He has decided to carry out his own personal 'mystery traveller' bus tour.

During the tour, he intends to both identify and commend good services and to shine a light on those services that fall below the quality passengers have a right to expect. Highlighting issues that might be preventing people from making the bus their first choice of transport will be an important part of the tour.

He would like to invite members of the public to get in touch with him and suggest routes they would like him to include in his tour.

He is interested to hear about the good, the bad and the indifferent. He aims to experience for himself the services that are brought to his attention.

The Minister will try and include as many routes that are suggested to him by the public as possible in his tour.

"This isn't about trying to 'catch out' bus operators – the tour aims to celebrate all that is good about bus travel as well as put an end to any negative perceptions that might be stopping people getting on board.

Bus services are the backbone of our public transport system and a vital lifeline to millions – and that's why we need them to be the very best that they can be."
