Change - UK - Lib Dems vote to reverse bus privatisation
Brighton,UK -The Guardian Unlimited, by Matthew Tempest -Sept 20, 2006: -- The Liberal Democrats pledged today to copy Ken Livingstone and take back control of local buses in a bid to get Britain moving again... At the party's conference in Brighton, delegates agreed a motion reversing the Conservative bus privatisation of the 1980s, which the Lib Dems claimed has led to a long-term decrease in bus usage... Uniquely, Mr Livingstone, the mayor of London, was handed powers over bus routes and prices when the capital regained a city-wide governing authority six years ago...
