So Surrey St. junction will need altering again, as will Leopold St. Thought SCC was cash-strapped, as was the PTE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest busdriver1 Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Wait till the tenders are submitted first. I get the feeling the whole project may end there. This is being proposed by people with little or no transport knowledge so I bet they are in for a shock. Will that stop them? Councils and the PTE in unison - 🙂 answers on a postcard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron99 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Had some Green Party literature posted through the letterbox today. Apparently the 'City Clipper' is now called the 'Sheffield Connect' & has been running a while now. While I've seen a bus stop on Norfolk St, heading up in the direction of the Town Hall, I've never seen an actual bus while walking around town. The fare though is £1 or free if you've bus pass or proof if taken another bus that day. Obviously a very limited service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two white (16 seater, I think) mini buses currently providing the service. I have seen them a couple of times when I've been to the city centre - they have VERY few passengers on them. There is a timetable and route map available on the TSY site. Edited October 26, 2022 by RollingJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna B Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 As an elderly person who can't walk far I need some form of transport in Sheffield city centre. I would suggest either a fleet of bicycle rickshaws, or an electric bus similar to those that ferry people around airports and to and from the planes when not near the terminal. Sheffield city council is trying to attract people into the city centre, so providing handy transport would seem essential. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, bicycle rickshaws would be great - possibly - in summer and there is already a bus network in the city centre, although due to council policy, the routes they can take are severely restricted.
