Liverpool is taking control of its buses.
Franchising will give @LpoolCityRegion & @MetroMayorSteve greater say over routes, fares and services.
We are investing £86m in the region to improve services, as we deliver our plan to transform buses for passengers nationwide 🚍
📆 The countdown is on!
Two weeks today, we will bring our buses back under public control for the first time in 40 years.
✅ New and extended routes
✅ Better frequency
✅ More evening and weekend services
