The reality of the privatisation of essential public services 😠

£3.25 and it's impossible to transfer with your ticket

yes i will moan and moan about public transport in glasgow mostly because of the depressing lack of imagination it shows in the scottish public sphere, that existing infrastructure assets should be so squandered

It's past time we put this failed deregulation experiment to bed. It hasn't improved services or driven down fares. We're held to ransom and forced to pay these exorbitant fares. SPT are blazing a trail, ScotGov needs to recognise this is vital and support them in the budget next week.
