The Committee has invited written evidence, particularly in relation to the following:
- Has the Competition Commission addressed the issues of most importance to the bus passenger?
- How effective are the remedies proposed by the Competition Commission likely to prove?
- Is sustained head-to head competition feasible or desirable?
- What role should Quality Partnerships play?
- Has the Competition Commission adequately considered the franchising option?
- What action should local government and central government now take?
The Transport Committee would like to receive written submissions by Friday 17 February. Details of how to respond can be found here
