Oxfordshire considers public bus control amid congestion charge, but officials warn high costs and delays.
Oxfordshire County Council is weighing public control of bus services amid pressure from Labour and a petition, considering bus franchising to set fares and routes.
Officials warn the move could cost £880,000 and take years, with no guarantee of reducing congestion.
They recommend strengthening current partnerships with operators instead.
Critics argue private operators prioritize profit, leading to cuts like the 17 bus route, and say public ownership would better serve low-income communities.
The decision comes just before a £5 congestion charge begins on October 28.
