About

Milton Keynes Council awarded a contract to Via Transportation UK Ltd for the operation and software to run a full 'corner to corner' demand responsive transport (DRT) service within Milton Keynes.

The contract, valued at AUD 4,800,000, was procured through a further competition under the Milton Keynes Council Local Bus Service Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) - Lot 2 Shared Taxi and Demand Responsive Service.

The service is intended to replace most of the Council's subsidised bus network, which had become unsustainable due to increasing costs and pressures exacerbated by COVID.

The DRT service must integrate with, rather than compete against, the commercial local bus network.

The scope covers the entire borough of Milton Keynes, including rural areas and new developments that may arise during the contract period, but excludes cross-boundary trips.

The contract has an initial term of three years, with options to extend by 12 months for a further two years.
