MSP Colin Smyth has urged SNP Green Government Ministers to intervene over the 15 per cent bus fare price hikes being faced by users of Stagecoach buses in Ayrshire.
Mr Smyth tabled parliamentary questions urging Government Ministers with responsibility for Transport, SNP MSP Kevin Stewart and Green MSP Patrick Harvie, to follow other parts of the UK by capping the fare process.
Mr Smyth also urged them to reverse cuts in support for bus services and link support for companies to keep down fares and maintain bus routes.
