Who We Are
Merseytravel - Promoting the interests
of the travelling public.
Merseytravel works to promote the interests of Merseyside's travelling public while
providing value for money for its local tax payers.
The public sector body co-ordinates public transport through partnership initiatives,
with the aim of delivering a fully integrated and environmentally friendly public
transport network.
Merseytravel is controlled by democratically elected councillors from the five local
authorities, who set the policies for officers to deliver.
Merseytravel is committed to playing a major role in the continued regeneration
of Merseyside - economically and socially.
This means incorporating high quality public transport as an integral feature of
commercial developments such as the Joblink and Dial-a-Link
bus services, helping people get to jobs and training.
Merseytravel provides bus services linking communities with hospitals, schools and
other vital social outlets at times when bus companies find it unprofitable. This is a
major aspect of Merseytravel's work.
