Bus services play an important role in helping people access work, education, healthcare, shopping and leisure opportunities across Leicestershire. While many bus routes are operated commercially by bus companies, some services would not be able to run without financial support. These are known as supported services. Leicestershire County Council works with bus operators to provide funding for routes that help connect communities where commercial services may not be viable. This can include rural villages, areas with limited public transport options, or services that provide important links to key destinations.
A reliable bus network helps communities stay connected, support local businesses and makes it easier for residents to travel without relying on a car. By supporting bus services, the council are helping to strengthen connections between towns, villages and key destinations across the county.
Funding for supported services can come from a range of sources, including Leicestershire County Council and external funding provided by Government. The level and type of support can vary between services. Some routes may receive full financial support, while others may receive funding to enhance or maintain specific parts of a route or timetable.
Services that are fully funded by Leicestershire County Council have an LC, HC or MC service number. These services may still be operated by a bus company using their own vehicles, but the service is funded by the council. On our website, fully supported services are identified with an underline.
Services marked with an asterisk (*) are partially supported. This means the council provides funding towards part of the service, such as specific journeys, sections of a route or timetable enhancements, helping to maintain important transport links for local communities.
