Mapping Manchester - University of Manchester

Public transport
Most people in Manchester move around the city using public transport.
Changes in network patterns have been mapped out over the last century and
a half. Some of these maps promote the effectiveness of bus, train and tram
routes and stations across Manchester. Others emphasise a more practical use
and are designed to help passengers find their way. Policy makers have also
created mapping to help them monitor passenger numbers, travel times, and to
plan where future lines need to be developed. Large-scale surveys of stations,
tramways, or railway lines conducted at different times reveal a fascinating level
of historical detail about the local significance of public transport to the city.
