Help text
This is defined as the excess waiting time experienced by passengers over and above what would be expected with a service that was always on time.

For frequent services (six or more buses per hour), the excess waiting time is the total of the difference between the average observed and scheduled waiting times (in minutes).

Figures come from bus operators as part of the DfT's (Department for Transport) Public Service Vehicle Survey and are published annually. This was previously reported as NI 178a.

Data is available at the local authority level (unitary authorities and county councils). An England total is not published. Data is also published at the Integrated Transport Authority (ITA) level and London is the figure quoted for Transport for London.
