Labour confirms support for franchising and municipalisation

摘要

The Labour Party's recently appointed shadow transport minister for England, Matt Rodda, has confirmed that franchising and re-municipalising of bus services remain firmly in its sights for a future government.Speaking at the launch of Transport Focus's annual survey of bus passenger satisfaction (see p12) on 15 March, Rodda - MP for Reading East - said: 'It is clear that deregulation has failed passengers and that bus market monopolies are the norm.'
