One year on from our first presentation to Glasgow City Council, we handed in our second petition for publicly-owned buses to Council Leader Susan Aitken with 7,093 signatures.
Following a Rally outside City Chambers, Get Glasgow Moving campaigners were invited inside for an hour-long meeting with Cllr Susan Aitken to discuss Glasgow’s public transport. We prepared a list of discussion points to ensure we got answers to our questions.
A massive thank you to everyone who came along to our petition hand-in today.
We had a positive meeting with @SusaninLangside
who supports our aims, however we believe there is more to be done to regulate private operates & deliver a bus network that puts passengers first ?✊ pic.twitter.com/tRBfy90t2c— Get Glasgow Moving (@GetGlesgaMoving) January 29, 2020
