Andy Burnham, as Mayor, managed planning and visible preparations, spending £100+ million on implementation. Andy Burnham’s implementation faced major throughout 2021, leading to him pausing the scheme in 2022. By 2023, new modelling favoured a cheaper investment plan (Bee Network buses/upgrades), and the now-Labour-led government approved the non-charging approach in 2025. Signs were removed (at a cost of £600,000), and air quality started to improve via increased public transport usage.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ All ANPR cameras stayed up with ownership transferred to Greater Manchester Police in 2025 for surveillance and crime prevention.
