Thanks to Transport Secretary Stephen Flynn for listening to our demands to speed-up the bus franchising process 🚌👏 Please support our Scottish Parliament petition to simplify the legislation & empower all RTPs to use the powers 👇 ✏️ petitions.parliament.scot/petitions/PE2246

Buses in Scotland are coming under public control 👏👏👏 Congrats to campaigners, especially @betterbusesspt.bsky.social (BBS) and @getglasgowmoving.org, for this win This is just the start. Help speed up the process by signing BBS's petition here: vist.ly/5nza4

A massive win for our campaign! 🚌🚏 Yesterday @johnswinney.bsky.social announced all buses in Scotland would be brought under public control 👏 It's vital this pledge supports the work SPT are already doing to progress bus franchising, and enables other regions to follow their lead 👇

🚌 🚍 One of our campaign asks - achieved! ✅️ At least on paper. Well done @snp.org for going 1 step further than UK Gov. Now we need support for local/regional public *ownership* within a franchised system under public control. @betterbusesspt.bsky.social @foescot.bsky.social @povertyalliance.org

Welcome new SCCS Member! @getglasgowmoving.org is a grassroots, volunteer-run campaign pushing for accessible, reliable, affordable and integrated public transport for Glasgow and the wider Strathclyde region. Get Glasgow Moving campaigns specifically for re-regulation and public ownership.

Scotland needs an accessible and publicly owned bus network. To see the Cabinet Secretary prioritise meeting profit making operators over workers in the development of the Better Buses legislation was troubling. @scotsman.com www.scotsman.com/news/politic...

Bus routes are being cut across Scotland under private ownership. Scottish Government should ✅ fast-track franchising so bus services can be ✅ brought back under local public control, with ✅ minimum service guarantees for rural areas. @betterbusesspt.bsky.social @foescot.bsky.social

Some recommendations for the Scottish Government to make bus travel more affordable and attractive, so we cut the #costofliving while cutting carbon, and bring services back under public control. 👇 @foescot.bsky.social @betterbusesspt.bsky.social @povertyalliance.org @getglasgowmoving.org

Only 2 of Glasgow's 15 Subway Stations are accessible 🚫 That’s why it's so important to support #Access2Transport's campaign: instagram.com/access2transport We all need to put pressure on SPT to improve accessibility & create a public transport system that everyone can use 🚶👩‍🦽🚇🚍

The Easdales are lawyered up. Holyrood might tear up Transport Scotland. SPT just hired a franchising specialist from Liverpool. Let the battle for the buses rage on! Read it in @heraldscotland.bsky.social 👇 www.heraldscotland.com/politics/vie...

We are delighted to see Better Buses firmly on the agenda for this new parliament! There is clear cross party support for urgent action to improve our bus services, lower fares and speed up bus franchising is clear. 🚌💨 Will this come to be known as the bus parliament?

The Easdales are climbing Scotland's rich list, but are the McGill's Buses brothers really billionaires? www.glasgowbell.co.uk/easdales-cli...
