Buses are better under public control
We need a reliable, affordable, and integrated network to travel to work, shop, keep appointments and socialise. But nearly 40 years of privatisation have left us with an overpriced, infrequent and unreliable service.
We’re calling for Better Buses in the North East, and bringing back our buses into public control!
Buses are now less frequent, late or non-existent, fares have gone up and passenger numbers have plummeted. Government funding cuts make the situation even worse.
Lack of good, reliable public transport has many negative results:
- The 26% of us without access to a car can’t lead normal, predictable lives.
- More traffic congestion clogging up our roads.
- Poor air quality that is damaging to.human health.
- More collisions on our roads causing death and injuries.
- More carbon gases making the climate crisis worse.
We believe that a fully public system is needed to deliver on these priorities.
