First South Yorkshire aim to operate our registered services to their published times. Unfortunately traffic and other hazards, such as road works, can cause short-term problems, and the Traffic Commissioner*, therefore, accepts that a bus may be delayed in these circumstances. However, it is accepted that there is no justification for a bus to run early.

The Traffic Commissioner has set a target whereby 95% of services should depart from the timing points within the bracket of up to 1 minute early and up to 5 minutes late.

* The Traffic Commissioners are the regulators of the bus industry and the registrars in their Traffic Areas of all local bus services. They have the powers to take action against operators who fail to run their services in accordance with the registered particulars.
