Bus Services: Standards

Thursday 21st November 2024

Asked by: Marie Tidball (Labour - Penistone and Stocksbridge)

Question to the Department for Transport:

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

Answered by Mike Kane - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

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.
