Calls are growing for a bold Strathclyde-wide bid to bring the region’s bus services under ‘democratic control’.
South Lanarkshire Council (SLC) leader, Joe Fagan, has written to Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) and the leaders of its member local authorities to seek cross-party agreement on the way forward.
He, along with others, believe Strathclyde should adopt a policy of London-style bus franchising, with an extension of public and community ownership, to replace the region’s broken bus market.
