• Bus deregulation has not been the disaster its critics claim, says the Bus and Coach Council.
'The 1985 Transport Act has increased the number of PSVs operating, increased the number of bus service miles, and introduced customer choice with competing services," says the BCC."In many places it has increased the frequency of services with innovations such as minibuses."
BCC says urban congestion has increased, due more to "increasing prosperity in the 1980s when the sale of new cars reached all-time records, than with the effects of bus deregulation."
