Of course, a comprehensive bus network with guaranteed minimum service standards will require adequate public funding, and it is important to be up front about that. However, year on year, under successive Governments, we have spent billions of pounds on wasteful, counterproductive and environmentally damaging road-building schemes. Analysis suggests that redirecting that funding to the bus services our constituents need for their day-to-day lives would fully fund guaranteed minimum service standards across the country.
