PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Bus Services: Standards (14 November 2024)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to help improve local bus services.

Asked by:
Dr Marie Tidball (Labour)

Answer

Over the fourteen years the previous Government was in office thousands of vital bus services disappeared across the country, and local bus services were left in a shocking state.

Improving local bus services is a key part of this government’s growth mission. We will introduce a transformative Buses Bill to put the power over bus services back in the hands of local leaders, and in the Budget confirmed over £1 billion to support and improve services across England.
