Buses

Lord Bradshaw
asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they have made an assessment of contestability in the local bus market. [HL176]

Lord Davies of Oldham
A study of competition in the UK passenger transport industry was carried out by the TAS Consultancy on behalf of the Commission for Integrated Transport in 2004. This drew on work for the Department for Transport. The department continues to keep the bus market under review.
