That the Parliament notes reports that a petition to reverse the decision to remove annual passes from the Largs to Cumbrae ferry route has been signed by roughly one third of people on the island; understands that 12-, six- and three-month season tickets have been phased out to simplify fares and ensure consistency following the roll-out of the Road Equivalent Tariff (RET) on the Clyde and Hebrides Ferry Services (CHFS) network; further understands that the 12-month season ticket for the route cost £463.40 in 2020, whereas buying five daily tickets a week, at current prices, would result in an annual cost of £864, an increase of 86%; notes that the Scottish Government’s Scottish Ferries Plan 2013-2022 pledges that “RET single fares will be competitive with any discounts that would or might be available through any multi-journey equivalent ticket scheme”; further notes findings from the Evaluation of Road Equivalent Tariff on the Clyde and Hebridean Network, prepared for Transport Scotland in March 2020, that “not all island residents experienced a large reduction in fares compared to previous multi-journey books” and “this is particularly the case in the Firth of Clyde islands where the use of multi-journey tickets was widespread”; believes that promoting the use of season tickets more widely would have led to greater uptake among islanders; understands that the one-month season ticket will continue to be sold further into 2022 to adjust to phased withdrawals, but notes calls for a more affordable interim multi-journey equivalent ticket scheme to be put in place to prevent inflation of commuter travel costs, and further notes calls for the Scottish Government to meet with Transport Scotland and CalMac with a view to reviewing the application of RET rules along the Largs-Cumbrae route until the situation can be resolved.
