Consultation now open!
SPT is consulting on our recommended options for bus reform in the region including local services franchising, Bus Service Improvement Partnerships and a municipal bus company. This means we think that the Strathclyde Regional Bus Strategy should be developed within a bus reform framework, rather than within the existing deregulated model. Given the significance of the proposed change to the current system, we want to understand the extent that you agree or disagree with our recommended approach before we further develop the strategy. We encourage you to read our consultation document and then respond using our questionnaire. The consultation is open until midnight Monday 13 May 2024.

What’s been done so far?
Over the past few months, SPT has worked with our consultants to consider different ways of delivering an improved bus network for the west of Scotland. We reported on our findings and recommendations from this process to our Partnership Board in March 2024. Prior to this, SPT reported on our Case for Change to our Partnership Board in September 2023.
What’s happening right now?
During April and May 2024, SPT is consulting with our partners, stakeholders and the wider public on the recommendations presented to our Partnership Board earlier this year. Please see the Consultation section above for information on how to participate.
What’s happening next?
We will report the findings from the consultation to our Partnership Board later in 2024, and complete the development of the bus strategy in 2025. Follow @SPTCorporate to be kept up to date.
