Chiefs at McGill’s have hit back at those campaigning for buses to be brought back under public control.
Renfrewshire could have a first-class bus service if its “third-world infrastructure” were improved, transport bosses have claimed, amidst calls to franchise the network.
The franchise approach would see SPT or an identified body set bus routes, fares and frequencies, with performance targets and customer feedback used to inform what operators are paid to run services.

There is also a dedicated St Mirren section that will follow every kick of the ball with the Buddies.Ralph Roberts, CEO of McGill’s Group, said: “The next time voters hear councillors say they want “a world-class bus network”, please tell them to firstly put world-class roads and public transport infrastructure into place.
Councillors from across the political spectrum, as well as members of the SPT Partnership Board, have called on the Scottish Government to provide funding to get the franchising model off the ground.
