BUS DEREGULATION MONITORING STUDY. A REPORT FOR THE SCOTTISH CONSUMER COUNCIL

This is the second in a series of reports to the Scottish Consumer Council as part of the bus deregulation monitoring study. It covers the first six months of deregulation since October 1986, relative to the six key issues identified by the SCC in the terms of reference for the study, namely: 1, the quality and continuity of bus services; 2, fare structures and fare levels on different types of routes; 3, the role of bus stations after deregulation; 4, any changes in the ability of disabled or elderly people to use public transport; 5, the distribution of public funds; 6, the growth of anti-competitive practices in the market. A set of regional reports is included and the main conclusions and recommendations are summarised. (TRRL)
