This project has been part-funded by the Department for Transport
The ZIP route widens your transport choice, provides improved connections with the Solent Transport network (which is being developed as part of Transport for South Hampshire), and offers a high quality alternative to the car.
Bus Route 41 has been branded 'ZIP', and you will see this logo on the bus stops and shelters along the route between Clanfield and Portsdown Hill. Our aim is to provide a reliable, safe, clean and frequent bus service that will help to reduce the thousands of car journeys made into and out of Portsmouth every day. Bus operator First has purchased a new fleet of buses, complete with the unique white, purple and green ZIP livery.
Construction commenced in autumn 2001 and the scheme was completed in autumn 2008. On these pages you will find information about the route and the facilities it offers, together with a clickable route map.
Between 2004 and 2020 it is predicted that nationally there will be a 40% increase in traffic, so we need alternative transport solutions to ensure that busy urban areas don't become gridlocked.
Councils throughout the country are being given tough targets by the Government to increase public transport use, reduce congestion and increase housing. To accommodate this growth we must provide a transport infrastructure that can cater for the growing numbers of residents.
Designed with the future in mind, the ZIP Bus Priority Corridor is part of Hampshire County Council's Local Transport Plan 2006-2011. It is the result of a quality bus partnership between Hampshire County Council, Portsmouth City Council, Havant Borough Council and the bus operator First.
ZIP is a registered Trade Mark in the name of Hampshire County Council, Portsmouth City Council and First Hampshire & Dorset.
