Scottish Bus Week 2022

Lodged by Mark Ruskell (Scottish Green Party) Standard Motion 18 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament welcomes Scottish Bus Week on 23 to 29 May 2022, delivered by Transform Scotland’s #lovemybus campaign team, in partnership with CPT Scotland, and with support from First Bus, Stagecoach, Borders Buses, West Coast Motors, and Paths for All; understands that Scottish Bus Week aims to highlight how buses can help improve citizens' health, tackle the climate emergency, build a fairer transport system, and improve access to opportunities and lifeline services; considers that buses can help reduce congestion, carbon emissions, air pollution, and inequalities across Scotland's communities, as well as make a significant contribution to the economy through investment in low and zero-emission buses and the provision of jobs through bus services and manufacturing; recognises what it sees as the positive impact that the launch of the Young Persons’ (Under 22s) Free Bus Travel scheme has had on encouraging bus patronage; commends everyone involved in delivering this year’s #ScottishBusWeek programme, and encourages everyone to get involved.
