As an amendment to motion S7M-00367 in the name of Stephen Flynn (Affordable Bus Fares), insert at end "; acknowledges that passenger journeys on local buses have declined in the last 10 years; believes that the delay in implementing and providing guidance relating to the provisions in the Transport (Scotland) Act 2019 on bus franchising has impacted on local authorities and their ability to provide accessible and reliable bus routes for their communities; notes that some areas have experienced a reduction in bus routes, and calls on the Scottish Government to take swift action to ensure that communities across Scotland are not left behind due to a lack of the public transport they need.”
