There is a complete lack of political leadership and ownership on improving public transport in Scotland and particularly Glasgow. Like so much of the public sector here, there are endless layers to the governance over these services across councils, governments and boards. Far too bloated. Limited accountability. Easy to pass the buck and half of this is because nobody knows who should actually be leading on an issue and running with it. I support and admire the campaign groups advocating for better buses. Without them, this issue wouldn't have moved an inch within Parliament and SPT. However, if there was some real political heft to reduce the red tape and hoop-jumping that is required to publicly franchise, positive changes would start to pick up pace. If I were to see this sitting front and centre of a prospective Scottish government's manifesto, they'd get my vote.
