New measures unveiled by Louise Haigh will enable all local transport authorities to run their own bus services, following the models in place in London and Manchester. London authorities took over their bus services in the city in 2000, setting up Transport for London, while buses have been run by local authorities in Manchester since 2017. “With local communities firmly back in the driving seat, our bus revolution will save vital routes up and down the country and put passengers first.” How would Labour’s plan for buses work? In 2017, the Bus Franchising Act enabled only mayoral combined authorities to run local bus services, similar to the TfL model.
