MPs call for national strategy

摘要

MPs on the House of Commons select committee have called on the government to develop a long-term strategy for bus services in England, with targets set to achieve a modal shift away from cars. The all-party committee's report on bus services in England outside London argues that, at best, deregulation 33 years ago may have arrested the rate of decline in bus use but has not delivered the promise at the time that it would lead to a lasting upsurge in ridership.
