Bus Services Act 2017 ch 21

A vote to support means

• —Supporting this Act means backing better bus services across the UK. It gives local councils more power to improve buses in their areas, set fares, and plan routes that actually meet what people need, rather than leaving it all to private companies.

A vote to oppose means

• —Critics worry that giving councils more control could lead to higher taxes to pay for buses, or that some areas might struggle to afford better services. Some people also prefer leaving bus services to private companies who they think run them more efficiently.
