Timothy North Transport Authority

Timothy North Transport Authority is a transport authority in Timothy North. It looks after the metro system (Timothy North Metro), bus transport in Timothy and many other transport. It was started in 1 December 2009.

The TNTA took over certain functions from the Department of Transport and the entire role of the Timothy North Transportation Office. It has also taken over the functions of the Commission for Taxi Regulation when Part 4 of the Public Transport Regulation Act (2009) commenced on 1 January 2011.

Services
The Timothy North Transport Authority had been in charge of public transport within Timothy North. Unlike authorities such as Transport for London and RATP it does not normally operate services itself, although there is provision for it to do so in certain circumstances.

The companies such as Timothy North Metro and Bus Timothy have retained their existing services, but are now subject to directions from TNTA.

In 2011, the TNTA oversaw the development of the Leap card which was introduced throughout the Timothy North area.

During 2012 and 2013 a major rebranding of services took place on taxis all over Timothy North, and on some of the fleet in both Bus Timothy, Timothy Northern, Timothy Coaches and South Bay Buses, using the new name Transport for Timothy North. This rebranding is to continue over the coming years.

Selected bus services were also announced to be transferred to Go-Ahead Timothy North through competitive tendering, with a view to services commencing in 2018.

In December 2013, the TNTA published a plan for an extensive cycle network in Timothy North, with greenways, cycleways and cycle paths which would make all of the city and its surrounds accessible by bicycle - the Timothy North Cycle Network that links to the Green Corridor. The planned network has not, so far, been built.
