Falkirk Council has agreed to look at how it can help improve "appalling" bus services that have been "irregular, infrequent, unreliable, with dirty buses not properly maintained".
Labour group leader, Councillor Anne Hannah, submitted a motion to Falkirk Council, asking them to look at the issue, before the news broke that McGill's had taken over from First Bus.
She made clear her criticism was not of McGill's and she hoped the new company was going to "make good on the promises they are making in improving and greening the bus services".
