Most of us here will know someone who is entirely dependent on buses to get around—be they members of our families or constituents, people need buses to get to work, to go to the shops, to attend school and medical appointments, or to access leisure opportunities. It is certainly true of my region—communities that are underserved by the rail network, for example—that people are dependent on buses to live their lives, and to live them well. As has already been mentioned, access to bus services is just as much a matter of social justice as it is a matter related to climate change, but, on top of this, it is a matter of vital economic importance. It affects people’s ability to access employment opportunities and the kinds of opportunities that people can reach, but it also dictates what services are available to people. With the increase in online shopping and the slow decline of our high streets, buses are going to be crucial to enable customers to support businesses in town centres.
