Party plans to give areas devolved powers to reinstate cancelled routes and set affordable fares
Labour will seek to overhaul failing bus services, giving local areas in England devolved powers to reinstate cancelled routes and set affordable fares.
The changes are expected to come within months of a Labour government as part of a “take back control bill” and would mark the biggest change in the sector in 40 years, as well as giving authorities powers to start their own publicly owned bus services.
