Manchester Bus Franchising

RE: Manchester Bus Franchising
Without getting too political, franchising/reregulation will go a long way to this government's pledge of 0% carbon emissions by 2050. They need to put major investment into public transport to make it attractive again and rid it of its' 3rd class stigma.
Investment has to go on more development of affordable and sustainable alternative fuels which in some cases, such as hydrogen, is in its' infancy.

Andy Burnham has set the stall out for the other metro mayors to follow. It's a beginning. I would hope the main metropolises throughout the British Isles follow suit and Whitehall to sponser him through reinstating rebates, adequate pass payments and substantial Green Bus funding. It can be done.
