TRANSPORT campaigners rallied in Glasgow today to demand buses across the Strathclyde region are taken into full public ownership.

Campaigners, led by activists at Get Glasgow Moving, have already succeeded in persuading the region’s transport authority, Strathclyde Passenger Transport (SPT), to back a publicly owned company in principle.

They rallied outside SPT headquarters to celebrate their latest win as transport chiefs refused to back plans for a partnership with the private sector on bus routes.
