Improve bus services for Greater Manchester

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

To ensure busses on local routes are on time and not over crowded, as the current bus services throughout Greater Manchester are over priced for the standard of the service.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Local bus services are the responsibility of your local council and local bus providers.

You could raise your issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:
