Labour to give English local authorities power to run bus services
Briefly

"Buses are the lifeblood of our communities, but for too many people it has become impossible to rely on local services, as routes have been slashed and timetables hollowed out. Today is the first stop on our journey to delivering better buses across the country."
"Our bus revolution will save vital routes up and down the country and put passengers first. After decades of failed deregulation, local leaders will finally have the powers to provide services that deliver for passengers."
"It took the mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, more than five years to introduce franchised bus services as part of the city's Bee Network. The measures would reduce the cost of franchising and streamline the process."
