Survey - UK - MPs say buses are "Cinderella" public service
New poll shows regional MPs want London-style bus regulation
London,UK -Politics.co.uk -12 Sep 2005: -- A new survey of MPs has shown that the majority of Labour MPs are increasingly frustrated with the relative lack of attention paid to local bus services by central Government... They also want to see buses across Britain run in the same way as they are in London... "If buses are the 'Cinderella' service they are being run by the 'ugly sisters' represented by the bus operators. Buses can deliver faster change to public transport than rail or air but have been starved of innovation, investment and initiative whilst the bus workers have seen their pay, pensions and career progression eroded since privatisation and deregulation. It is time for the Labour government to act decisively, back the calls from MPs, who reflect their constituents' views, and bring back regulation of services"...
