They seem to suggest that the London way of franchising bus routes is the clear way forward. Owen Jones, as a well-known leftie, is of course in favour of nationalising everything, so he's actually advocating municipal ownership and operation of buses, which isn't what we have in London. TfL controls the routes and fares, but the buses themselves are operated by, and mainly owned by, private companies, under contract with TfL. The operators have to compete for contracts, which do change hands from time to time. That seems to me to be a good combination. |
