A Newcastle MP is calling on the Government to ‘level up’ bus transport in the north as she launches a campaign to improve bus services across the city.
Chi Onwurah highlighted how Newcastle's bus service is not meeting the needs of those who rely on it as she challenged the Government to do more to tackle the problem.
“If we are to meet our carbon emissions targets and improve air quality in Newcastle we need more people to leave the car at home, but constituents tell me buses are too expensive and you end up waiting for ages for them," she said.
