University bus service subsidies
Dear University of Manchester,
I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
I would like to know:
1. The subsidies provided by the university, to external bus companies operating university bus routes, for the last 5 complete academic years (2014/15 to 2018/19), broken down by the following where possible:
o Student travel
o University staff travel
o Any other subsidy provided
If the breakdown is not possible, a single subsidy figure for each academic year would be acceptable.
2. The expenditure on, and income from, any university provided bus services, including shuttle buses, for the last 5 complete academic years (2014/15 to 2018/19), broken down by the following where possible:
o Student travel
o University staff travel
o Bus staff salary
o Equipment costs, covering vehicles and facilities
o Any other operating costs
If the breakdown is not possible, a single expenditure and single income figure for each academic year would be acceptable.
3. The number of complaints received by the university regarding university bus services, for the last 5 complete academic years (2014/15 to 2018/19).
If the data is collected in financial years, rather than academic years, please do provide the information in this format, for the last 5 financial years (including 2018-19 if possible), making it clear which format has been used.
Yours faithfully,
Adam Hodgson

these assessed and appropriate support is put in place e.g. minibus/taxis
· Expenditure per annum shown below (note all costs are received as
an invoice to the University from third parties therefore no split between
salary, equipment and operating costs is available)
