People were invited to give their feedback on the options between July - September 2013. Public submissions, along with responses from two citizens' engagement panels, were analysed and results were reported to a Hearings Subcommittee in late November / early December.
The findings of the hearings subcommittee informed the Regional Transport Committee's decision, on 4 March 2014, to take Bus Rapid Transit forward for implementation.
