Description

TfGM's vision for the future shelter estate is to transform, modernise and enhance the passenger waiting environment underpinned by a new partnership operating model that is fiscally sustainable, optimising the capital expenditure and operational costs whilst maximising revenue through advertising.

The general principles of the Metrolink waiting environment should be what we aim to replicate on bus, with cleaning and maintenance regimes to ensure that the assets are presentable and maintained to a high standard.Shelters provide a valuable revenue stream for the organisation through advertising.
