Help us build The People's Network

We're building a transport network that puts people first. One that's affordable, easy to use and ready for the future.

We're giving people across South Yorkshire more freedom to travel in the way that suits them, whether that's by bus, tram, bike or on foot. And we're helping create healthier communities and a greener future along the way.

If you want your work to have a real impact, you'll fit right in. Together, we're connecting people to jobs, education, friends, family and new opportunities. We're helping communities thrive, supporting economic growth and building an integrated transport system that just works.

A network for everyone. A network for the future. The People's Network.

Building The People's Network

South Yorkshire People’s Network is one of the biggest changes to public transport in South Yorkshire for a generation. And you could help shape what comes next.

Building a better network takes all sorts of people. Different skills. Different experiences. Different ideas. Every role has a part to play.

Whether you're shaping strategy, designing services, supporting customers or delivering projects behind the scenes, we're all working towards the same goal: creating a transport network that's easier to use, better connected and built around people.

Opportunities like this don't come around every day. This is meaningful work. The kind where you can see the difference you're making to people's lives across South Yorkshire.
