Members of the Houses of Commons Transport Committee are to visit Liverpool to hear about bus services in the area.
Key Points:
- In a public evidence session, MPs will question representatives from the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority and two bus companies, Arriva and Stagecoach, on how services are developed and run in the city through the Liverpool City Region Bus Alliance.
- The Committee will also use their visit to Liverpool to ask about fares and funding, workforce conditions and what is being done to increase bus use.
- Bus travel accounts for almost eight out of ten public transport journeys in Merseyside.
- The Committee has previously visited Leicester and Bristol to hear the views of passengers and local authorities.
