Motion · S5M-09811 · 9 Jan 2018
First Glasgow Fare Increases
The motion
That the Parliament notes with concern the decision by First Glasgow to scrap unaccompanied child concession tickets and increase fares for under-16s by 40%; considers that buses can be a vital lifeline for low-income families to access employment and education; believes that the best way to safeguard routes and provide affordable bus services is to re-regulate the industry, providing a service that is publicly run for passengers not for profit, and urges First Glasgow to reconsider this decision and deliver a service that better meets the needs of the residents of Glasgow.
