Cambridgeshire bus operator reveals key reliability figures for Catch the Bus Month

Cambridgeshire bus operator, Stagecoach East, has revealed its latest reliability figures, showing that it operated over 99% of the miles it was scheduled to operate over the past year – as it celebrates Catch the Bus Month.

It has now found that, over the past 12 months, it ran 99.1% of the miles it was timetabled to run.
