===Tram===
Work on an extension of the [[Manchester Metrolink]] costing £260 million began in 2008. Trams began to run to Droylsden in February 2013 and finally to Ashton in September 2013.

===Buses===
Ashton bus station was converted into a new transport interchange. A covered concourse replaced the five island platforms and the site was linked to the Metrolink terminus. It has new waiting areas, bicycle parking and better access to travel information and tickets. Improved pedestrian routes can now take people into the town centre. It was completed in October 2020.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://tfgm.com/ashton-interchange|title=Ashton Interchange|website=TfGM|access-date=9 August 2019}}</ref>

The new Hyde bus station opened on 23 August 2007, having cost £3.7 million to build.
