Time for buses to return to public control, say campaigners
Get Glasgow Moving

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.

“SPT is looking at all the options for future bus operations in our area, which we all recognise have been in serious decline over a number of years.”
