Bus Fare Capping - an explanation: You go into Tesco in the morning, buy bread, milk and bacon. Later that day, you pop into Morrisons for more break and milk as you have used what you bought earlier. You get this for 25% off because you paid full price this morning. After

Here we have another ‘magic money tree’ question. I operate buses in Glasgow and I have never had this politician write to me to complain that my bus services are dysfunctional (not behaving or operating normally) in any way. Would he have a problem if I said that all

An inconvenient truth. Read the article, not only is it a spot on synopsis of what’s going on with London’s franchised buses but it’s a great parallel to what happened outside London in the last 25years - instead of cycles, read unfettered car use.

Nationalisation brings more cuts; “LNER's Sunderland-London train service to be scrapped. The service will end in December” sunderlandecho.com/news/transport…

So this is worse than industry norms. We achieve better than this without a franchise, without partnerships and without bus priority. I also believe that 10% of Bee journeys are cancelled Lastly, re the YoY improvement; this period last year was at the peak of the National

But public control is so much better. Public control of public transport will see an end to cuts? 10% of Bee network services cancelled daily. Do people realise they are in the process of being duped?

Today, another angel is in heaven - far, far too soon. One of our Duty Managers, who was a powerhouse in her role during the time we built McGill's Buses has been taken so very young. Craig White you are in all of our thoughts, Sarah will always be remembered with admiration

Really informative footfall stats. The bus station serves more than double the number of passengers of Haymarket Station. Imagine the furore if Haymarket were to be closed.

It’s reassuring to read the #FirstMinister’s words (in the #Herald) from his speech today in Glasgow. He is not called “Honest John” by those of a certain age for nothing. This is exactly what people in Scotland are seeing of politics and everyone I speak to is sick of it. I

I wonder if that (Sustrans) is what is behind the diesel bus ban in the @SNP manifesto? (link below⬇️) We know the Holyrood manifesto on diesel buses crashed and burned and this will too. My worry is that those in the room when this manifesto was created clearly have no idea of

A good article and I would recommend reading the full report. Great work by Transport Focus Also interesting that the SPT area had the best satisfaction with bus services. Certainly begs the question why SPT think they are so bad. As always, there’s more to do but a good
