Take Back Our Buses - South Yorkshire

Right now, private companies control South Yorkshire’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.

Dan Jarvis, the new Metro Mayor for the Sheffield City Region has the power to tame this Wild West market, and take our buses back under public control. That will enable us to cap prices, set timetables and extend coverage where it’s needed, rather than where it is profitable for the fat cat bus companies.

Dan Jarvis is yet to commit. Sign this petition to take back control of our buses!

Dear Dan Jarvis, Sheffield City Region Mayor,

Right now, private companies control South Yorkshire’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.

Take South Yorkshire's buses back under public control!
