Union hits out at ‘missed chance’ to improve buses

BUS drivers have expressed “anger and frustration” at the government’s “missed opportunity” to improve services nationwide.

Their comments came as the Department for Transport (DfT) responded yesterday to a parliamentary committee report entitled The Health of the Bus Market.

The MPs warned that more than 300 million bus services have been cut since 2014 and called on ministers to take action.
