Steve Rotheram could sign off on proposals for a franchising model that would take back the power to set fares and routes
When the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority meets at Mann Island next week, Metro Mayor for buses across five of the six local authority areas. Should the move go ahead, the city region will become just the second area outside London to run a publicly operated network.
A final decision will be made by the Metro Mayor and local authority leaders after more than 6,000 people responded to a public consultation. A report outlining the results said there is a desire to move quickly with adopting the franchise model but timescales must be “realistic.” The documents said the combined authority’s target for a three year rollout represents a “sensible balance of ambition and deliverability” with April next year being the first date at which local service contracts can be first entered. It is expected that October 2024 could be when the first of the fleet is on our region’s roads.
