In February, the Department launched a consultation on Mobility as a Service which is currently live. The responses will feed into the development of a code of practice to help maximise the benefits of digital platforms for users.

Our vision, set out in the Williams-Shapps Plan for Rail, is for closer integration between all forms of public transport. Great British Railways will also explore including other transport modes in its website and app to support seamless journeys.
