Celebrating buses
Hello Supporter
It's officially the end of Catch the Bus Month 2024 and what a month it's been!
At the beginning of the month the Transport Secretary, Louise Haigh, unveiled a package of measures to empower local leaders to take control of their bus services. The Better Buses Bill will give all local transport authorities across England new powers to run their own bus services – powers previously limited to mayoral combined authorities. These new powers could help to sustain and protect bus services, creating a more reliable bus network for all.
We think everyone should have access to a quality bus service without risk of it being cut - whoever operates it - which is why we are calling for a minimum service level guarantee and long-term, ringfenced funding for all local authorities to be included in next month's Autumn Budget.
