From: Councillor Tyler Callum Wilson-Kerr, Aberford & District Parish Council, Sturton Grange Ward, Leeds.
The decision of West Yorkshire Mayor Tracy Brabin to franchise buses and bring them under a level of public control is one to be welcomed and embraced by all of us. It marks the beginning of the end of the battle against cack-handed private ownership and transport policy in the North being controlled and decided by unaccountable politicians in Whitehall. I have written much these past months on the merits and benefits this political decision to franchise buses brings to our constituents.
For example, one thing I learned from the other side was that while we all have opinions on the big three bus firms, franchising will also affect smaller local and SME minibus businesses like DalesBus which caters to older folks and helps shuttle families for trips up from Yorkshire cities towards our beautiful countryside and coast - much helped by the nationwide £2 bus fare cap brought in by the Conservatives.
