One area where | am particularly keen to see regulation is as a result on the
National Concessionary Travel Scheme which allows pass holders to use any bus.
In the south side of Edinburgh pass holders will use any bus except local Lothian
Buses, and will let Lothian Buses go past and use the Edinburgh to Melrose service
to the Liberton area, or the Edinburgh to Dumfries service to the Morningside
area, thereby delaying these services and at busy times preventing people for
whom it is their only bus from alighting. Before deregulation there was no setting
down within the city boundary on outward journeys, and no picking up within the
city boundary on inward journeys.
Consuttation on proposed Bus Regulation Scotland Bill
| believe that a Bus Regulation Bill is essential.
