Take back control

Labour pledges to ‘take back control’ of bus services and accelerate franchising

Labour has pledged to end the “postcode lottery” of bus services by speeding up the franchising process.

Since de-regulation in 1985, the party said services outside of London have “collapsed”.

Shadow transport secretary Louise Haigh said the plan would kickstart a revival of bus services across England.

The plan aims to create 250 million more passenger journeys per year and allow local transport authorities to “take back control”.

The key word is obvious – it’s “control”. Based on financial year 2022/2023, 250 million more passenger journeys per year in England would be an increase of approximately 7.4%. They probably don’t expect Labour voters to check that.

In the financial year 2022/23, the number of passenger journeys on local bus services in Great Britain amounted to 3.7 billion trips, a year-on-year increase of around twenty percent. During the same period, nearly 3.4 billion bus passenger journeys were reported in England.
