Transport for Cornwall
Transport for Cornwall (Cornish: Karyans rag Kernow) is a partnership between local government and transport operators responsible for the development and integration of the transport network in Cornwall, England.
Transport for Cornwall is responsible for council-funded buses in Cornwall, with various national and local bus companies running the services via franchise. It does not oversee any other forms of public transport in the county, which are limited to passenger rail, air, and ferry services.
Transport for Cornwall branding arose from the One Public Transport System for Cornwall plan, created by Cornwall Council in 2015, when limited devolution powers were given to Cornwall which included public transport governance. Prior to this, the bus network in Cornwall was run by multiple private operators, with no integrated timetabling nor ticketing, with some tendered services being funded by the council to improve rural access. Traveline provided some combined journey planning.
Under Cornwall's first devolution deal in 2015, the county was given the power to develop and franchise bus transport. Cornwall Council initially invested in new facilities such as waiting areas, vehicles and real-time arrival displays at bus stops. This was done with extra funding from the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Local Enterprise Partnership, GWR and Plymouth's Transforming Cities Fund. This was done in cooperation with various local bus operators under the title 'One Public Transport System for Cornwall'.
In January 2020, Cornwall Council awarded Go Cornwall Bus an 8-year contract (totalling £192 million) to provide bus services under the scheme.
In March 2020, Go Cornwall Bus partnered with Cornwall Council and local operators to form the new Transport for Cornwall brand, with plans calling for an additional 130 vehicles. The Transport for Cornwall website went live on 14 March 2020.
The bus single fare cap was increased on 1 January 2025 from £2 to £3 in line with the national policy announced in the October 2024 United Kingdom budget.
The Go Cornwall bus app was merged early in 2025 with the remaining services not on the earlier 'Passenger'-derived programme (mainly First Kernow operations).
