More people adding their voices to calls for #busfranchising @ReclaimOurBuses @MarvinJRees @SavageToby1.
Our chair Mohamed A Sayaqle, added his voice on the campaign to claim the busses, and called city leaders to use their devolved powers. Public transport has been inconvenient in our area and allot of young people & parents either delay or miss out our sessions.

Very clear message from @BSomalivoice regarding the need for #busfranchising - @votedannorris what are you going to do about this?.

The value of a journey shouldn't be defined by the profitability of the route. @votedannorris when will franchising be on the table?.
Here's part two of Jacob's #ReasonToReclaim!. He's right to highlight the importance of taking back our buses for delivering equal opportunities around our region.

Young Ahmed said:.We want to inspire more young people to change driving habits, and start cycling, walking and using public transport, this will have both health and environmental merits, we want young people from minority backgrounds to be part of the climate change dialogue.

Lets make the most of this existing infrastructure - it makes sense, whatever your view of an underground for Bristol. And it should link up with a really good local bus network @ReclaimOurBuses, excellent cycling and walking infrastructure @BristolCycling @AllianceWalking.

Great article in the latest edition of @TheBristolCable explaining all about bus franchising. Recommended if you want to learn more.
Passengers told us about: . - Cancellations and cuts to services making it impossible to get to work. - South Bristol being disconnected from the rest of the city. - Live bus tracking being a complete fiction. - Being forced to pay for taxis, walk home and drive more.

Do you have any stories of buses not working for you? We'd love to hear from you @BSomalivoice @HeartofBS13 @MakeBristolFair @ambitionlw @BlackSWNet @BristolSomaliRC - and add your stories to the series of videos calling for bus franchising @ReclaimOurBuses.
🎒 Our regions' school children have had enough of bad buses. We need public control to help. ⏰ Arriving tired and stressed to school is not good enough — time for an expansive and reliable bus network through franchising. 🚍 Will you deliver @VoteDanNorris? 👇👇👇 10/30

It is ridiculous that young people can't get the bus to school in the West of England, and have to miss out on opportunities. @BristolCathedra @CST_Schools you are missing out on talent because of poor bus services - get behind the @ReclaimOurBuses campaign.
🎶 Hannah's daughter is about to lose her place studying music in Bristol because of bus cuts. 🚍 We need public control to make sure young peoples' futures come before corporate profits. ⏩ Will you take action @VoteDanNorris? Time for Franchising. 11/30
