From shift workers abandoned by cancelled buses to the carbon emissions from forced car-ownership, the hunt for profit on the UK’s buses is putting people and planet at risk.
Join this session to hear the panel discuss how bringing buses into public control and ownership is not only forming a key part of the UK devolution agenda, but is essential to delivering a just transition for working people and our families.
A panel discussion hosted by Matthew Topham, Better Buses Campaigner at We Own It with:
Depute Lord Provost, Christy Mearns (Scottish Greens)
Ellie Harrison, Get Glasgow Moving
Caitlin Lee, Unite Hospitality Glasgow
