Miawex: love seeing councils taking back control, might finally get some decent public transport in my area lol
Ariakwan: you can keep your privatised bus misery, but this bit always kills me is that there's finally some real action happening on our terms
Noraweber: a return to sanity on our roads is a far cry from London's still-privatised mess
Mayad: i've been following this from the outside, glad to see results now. how's bus frequency compared to pre-privatisation days?
Bruno: sounded a lot like my own dad's rant about nationalised railways
Vera Ibrahim: good to see at least one part of the country is done pretending privatization works
Felix Rana: finally some accountability on transport policy in the UK - now let's see if other cities follow Liverpool's lead
Pale Sable: i've lived through this cycle before, where council-run services get privatised and then you can't even get a decent bus on time
Romanofreya: it's hard to believe someone had to write a whole column to make this painfully obvious
