BUSES THAT WORK FOR PEOPLE Private bus companies received £3.67 billion in public subsidies in 2024, almost 50% of their income. But we get no say in the fares they charge, where they go, or how often. Our Mayor wants to CHANGE that and introduce a franchised bus system under public control - Bus users will have a bigger say in how their bus services are run and which areas they service. Eg, to local estates and rural areas rather than just main roads. - Regular annual fares, bus times and routes that will not be altered or cut at 6 weeks notice as at present and only changed after consultation with travellers and our Mayor. - Smart ticketing that could be used across all buses, metros, ferry and some trains, instead of paying a fare on each vehicle. - A safe service that’s reliable, affordable, accessible and accountable. - Franchising would support a bus system similar to the one in London, which has the highest ridership in the UK and is easy to use. A Franchise Agreement for a better bus service for everyone Support Mayor McGuinness’ plan to introduce franchise agreements for bus services in the North East. This would mean bus services run for people and planet, not solely for private profit. Hold bus companies to a legally binding contract to improve public transport, both urban and rural, across the region. Contact details Web: neptug.org.uk Email: admin@neptug.org.uk Facebook: NEPTUG
