Private companies control Bristol’s bus network. They dictate prices, routes and timetables. The result has been catastrophic - passenger numbers have plummeted, prices have risen and services have shrunk.

Tim Bowles, the Mayor of the West of England, has the power to take our buses back under public control, enabling us to cap prices, set timetables and extend coverage where it’s needed, rather than where it is profitable for greedy bus companies. Tim Bowles is yet to commit.

First Bus West of England could be taken over by a worker buyout, with backing from Bristol City Council, that would bring the buses into worker and public control.
