Metroshuttle Free City Centre Buses in Manchester

Manchester Metroshuttle

A completely free service launched in September 2002 as a major expansion to central bus provision and aimed at improving public transport infrastructure while reducing traffic in Manchester city centre. The two circular routes take in all major rail stations, bus stops and Metrolink Tram stops.

Routes
At present the routes are:

  • Metroshuttle 1 (Orange): based at Piccadilly Rail Station, and running to Chinatown, King Street, Deansgate, St Marys Gate, Market Street and Piccadilly Gardens.

  • Metroshuttle 2 (Green): based at Victoria Rail Station and running to Albert Square, Oxford Road Station, Deansgate Station and back along Deansgate to Victoria Station.

A further service into Spinningfields is planned to be introduced in 2003.

The Providing Partnership
The buses are all brand new easy access, low floor, low emission and have been provided by a partnership between Manchester City Council, Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive (GMPTE), National Car Parks (NCP), Allied London Properties (Spinningfields), Manchester City Centre Management Company and the First in Manchester Bus Company.
