It's very good timing for Glasgow that First are looking to sell up, just as the Transport Bill's going through the Scottish Parliament.
The Transport Committee voted just last week to amend the bill to give councils the power to either franchise out their entire bus networks, or to run their own TfL style network if they should want. Should this bill get through the third stage vote amongst MSPs (possibly in autumn), the city will finally have the power to get the bus and wider transport system under control, in a way that's normal in nearly every other EU country, but has been against UK law since the 80s.
If the city could also get a hold of the bus infrastructure too, we'd have everything needed for a city run bus company. |
