It will also see the introduction of new buses, bus stops being equipped with live public transport information and higher frequency of services, bus priority in congested areas and at traffic signals.
Aa smart card ticketing system and better security for passengers and staff is also due to be introduced.
The Ewood section of the project has been amended following a major consultation with residents and businesses.
