Oxford would be able to implement franchising in a fraction of the time we could in Scotland. Even if we started the process before them they'd have a franchised network up and running before we're even out the depot! Simpler legislation is needed @jimfairliesnp.bsky.social @fionahyslop.bsky.social

Amazing to see Cambridgeshire & Peterborough become the 4th UK city-region to commit to bringing its bus network back into public control 👏 It's the end of the road for bus deregulation 🚍 Help us make Strathclyde next! betterbuses.uk/strathclyde cambridgeshirepeterborough-ca.gov.uk/news/mayor-a...

A simple journey from Glasgow's Southside to the east takes a feat of exhausting mental maths - to the point just walking for two hours seems more appealing. How could the city sync up its transport? And why hasn't it?

Buses in Strathclyde are deregulated, meaning private companies like McGill's can hike up fares as they please 🚍💸 In the two UK city-regions where buses are franchised, fares remain frozen👇 Manchester = £2.00 with the Bee Network London = £1.75 with TfL www.glasgowlive.co.uk/news/glasgow...

Today Greater Manchester makes history🚍 They've finally finished the process of taking all the region's buses back into public control, which began in 2017👏 All bus fares are now £2, allowing you to change routes as many times as you need within an hour🪙 We need this in Strathclyde now!

Please sign - petitions.parliament.scot/petitions/PE2116 Big Fergus prioritising voice of bus operators reflects how out of touch our govt. are on transport. If they genuinely wish to combat child poverty - then regular, reliable, affordable public transport for those on low incomes is a must.
