Paul Shaw, Campaign Officer at Better Buses for Strathclyde, discusses the campaign to bring buses back into public ownership.

We look at the progress that’s been made in improving public transport and reducing car use in Scotland this year.

Along with trade unions, health and poverty charities, student groups and more, we’re campaigning for buses in the Strathclyde region to be taken back into public control so that they are run for passengers, not for profit.

The Highland Council is deciding on plans to prioritise people over cars by making big changes to Academy Street.

If we make public transport cheaper than cars, we can create jobs, strengthen our economy and meet our climate commitments.

Glasgow’s Low Emission Zone coming into force is a big campaign win. Find out about how it will work to reduce air pollution in the city.

Every January, we look at air pollution data for the previous year to find the most polluted streets, and this year we have some good news: Scotland did not breach legal air pollution limits in 2022.

Throughout 2022, people around Scotland have been fighting for better public transport and safer option for cycling, walking and wheeling.
