UK Transport Secretary proposes "Better Buses Bill" to empower local authorities over bus services, reversing 1980s privatization.

UK Transport Secretary Louise Haigh is advancing the "Better Buses Bill," which aims to empower local authorities to control bus services, reversing privatization initiated in the 1980s. This initiative, part of a broader socialist agenda, addresses declining bus usage, with passenger journeys still below pre-pandemic levels. Critics warn of potential funding challenges, particularly for rural services, as the government prepares to outline financial support in upcoming legislation.
