The bus sector regularly calls for its vehicles to be given priority on our congested roads but, as Covid recovery funding ends, we are also calling for parity, if not priority, within the government's transport budget and policy aspirations. Buses are the predominant mode of public transport in Scotland, responsible for over 75 per cent of all such trips. They are flexible, sustainable, and accessible, taking people to work and school and connecting Scotland communities.
