EDM number 1082 in 2010-12, proposed by Greg Mulholland on 23/11/2010.
Categorised under the topic of Buses.

That this House supports the Leeds-based campaign, Fair Fares For All, which has been set up in response to recent ticket price increases, poor reliability and service on some routes by First buses; notes that fares on local bus services have increased by almost 40 per cent. in the last two years, with the cost of a single one-way fare for more than four stops having risen from 1.70 to 1.90; is concerned that these price changes have been poorly advertised; and calls for Metro, West Yorkshire's passenger transport authority, to regulate services through a bus quality contracts scheme to standardise fares, routes and frequency of service.

This motion has been signed by a total of 14 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
