''Every day, millions of people across Greater Manchester move through the region with ease, from the school run to matchday. 🚌

That's down to Transport for Greater Manchester's vision for the Bee Network, bringing bus, tram, walking, and cycling together as one decision layer across everyday trips and major events. 'You. Smart. Thing.' has powered the Bee Network journey planner since 2023.

The service now extends to travel assistant deployments for venues and events right across Greater Manchester: Co-op Live, Etihad Campus, Visit Manchester, Manchester City Football Club, Oasis Live '25, and Lancashire Cricket Club. On MCFC's own site, fans can find dedicated match day travel options alongside tram and rail.

📊 'You. Smart. Thing.' has launched a new case study summarising the numbers behind three years of delivery: over 30 million travel plans, and 109% year on year growth in travel plans generated.''
