Jack from Get Glasgow Moving handing petition to SPT Vice Chair Cllr Alan Moir

AN ALMOST 10,000-signature petition demanding public control of buses was presented to Strathclyde Passenger Transport (SPT) today.
Transport, anti-poverty and climate activists stood with trade unions to support the Better Buses for Strathclyde campaign pressing SPT to use its newly restored powers not only to reregulate services but to run them.
The STUC backed their calls for the regulation of fares, the introduction of franchising and the formation of a publicly owned bus company.
