Bus Passenger Watchdog

EDM number 237 in 2007-08, proposed by Graham Stringer on 14/11/2007.
Categorised under the topics of Buses and Consumers.

That this House expresses concern that bus users often do not know to whom to turn when things go wrong; notes that the bus industry was the only utility to be privatised without the parallel creation of a passenger watchdog regulator; recognises that achieving the Government's aim of increasing bus patronage requires improving how bus users are treated; and calls on the Government to create an independent, statutory, government-funded passenger watchdog for bus users through the Local Transport Bill which will have the power to protect and promote their interests.

This motion has been signed by a total of 64 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
