Former Transport Secretary Harper objects to a WPL because of the cost being passed onto staff. If public transport improvements are funded by the levy, the benefits would outweigh the costs even for employers. bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-n…

'CITY OF CARS' FILM SCREENING, 28th MAY With over 700 car deaths in Bristol and Somerset last year, we urgently need to talk about the safety of our cars and our roads. Screening followed by discussion. tickettailor.com/events/bristol…
West of England SustainableTransport&ActiveTravel retweeted
I don't want self driving cars. I want boring things like public transit that comes so regularly I don't need to check a schedule. I want bike lanes so accessible it's preferable to Uber. I want a city that's not built around cars-as-default.
Andy Burnham brought Manchester's buses back under public control in 2023 and believes #WECA could follow a similar transport model. If he's the next Prime Minister, will he put his money where his mouth is? #franchisingnow bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
As long as they don't have to do it, if it costs them more, they won't do it. #FranchiseOurBuses thewestonmercury.co.uk/news/26046510.…
There were more than 700 fatal or serious injury collisions happened last year - almost two every single day. Thu 28 May 5:30 PM - 8:00 PM: "City of Cars" Film screening & Road Danger Reduction workshop tickettailor.com/events/bristol…
Franchising will be so much easier to achieve with North Somerset inside the WECA tent. A joined up approach to walking, wheeling and shared transport will be more achievable when we're all together.
Don't forget to give your views on North Somerset joining the West of England Combined Mayoral Authority (WECA). We urge everyone to say 'yes', especially as it will be easier to bring in bus franchising, which will benefit the whole region. westofengland-ca.gov.uk/news/consultat…
pressreader.com/uk/western-dai… So, the West of England is behind smaller European cities, in terms of mass transit and it has really poor bus services. While we wait for trams, better buses would be a great boost the region's economy, wellbeing and to fighting climate change.
Even if trams & better rail are part of our future, we'll still need better buses. We believe franchising is the way to achieve this. The WECA Mayor talked about having greater control over our buses but refuses to take any steps towards franchising. Why?? 11/11
Even just improving frequency of services on existing lines could make a difference but there could be even more. 10/
We at WESTACT have few things to say about the West England Mayor's Vison for Public Transport. 1/
Good improvements but will the real time information software be more reliable, or will my bus still sometimes 'disappear' just before it's 'due'? westofengland-ca.gov.uk/news/new-year-…
