The Buses Bill introduces significant reforms by enabling all English local transport authorities to operate as franchises, mirroring London's successful bus service model.
Since 1986, the UK has relied on a largely privatised bus operation, resulting in declining services and patronage, prompting the new government to re-regulate the sector.
Key organizations such as the Urban Transport Group and Campaign for Better Transport have positively received the Buses Bill, indicating widespread support for its implementation.
The government's budget announcement included a £1 billion investment to protect essential bus routes, a move aimed at stabilizing and enhancing public transport services across England.
