The March for Fairer Buses is TOMORROW! Check out this thread for more information...

BREAKING: A group of young people have occupied the West of England Combined Authority's headquarters on Redcliff Street. They are refusing to leave until metro mayor Dan Norris agrees to bring a vote on bus franchising to the next WECA meeting.

Young people leading the way! Dan Norris is the only Labour metro mayor that has not formally investigated bus franchising I.e public control of our bus services. @votedannorris no more excuses. Do the right thing. Begin the process.

Will you go speak to the 5 young people who are currently occupying your lobby? @votedannorris

They're refusing to move bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-n…

🚨BREAKING: West of England Mayoral Combined Authority offices occupied by 5 young people from #Bristol ahead of tomorrow's march regarding transport. Their demands: - Free for under 25s, students and apprentices - Fair access for riders and conditions for drivers - Franchised for people not profit

West of England Mayoral Combined Authority The young people, from @bristolys4c and XR Youth Bristol 🌎⌛, said: "West of England Mayoral Combined Authority needs to be bold and take public control of our local buses to end the madness that entirely private control under companies including FirstBus has caused."

Good luck for a good cause!

Worth reading to understand more about the need for some action on this matter

We're are still occupying the WECA offices, @votedannorris hasn't come to talk to us so I guess we're here overnight too 🤷

Just as we we're settling into bed last night, West of England Mayoral Combined Authority used police officers to threaten young people with arrest for daring to take action against our broken buses. It's time for public control - come down and join us at 1pm on College Green! 💚✊

🚌 #Bristol buses should be publicly owned, but the Metro Mayor needs to deliver franchising with free travel for young people 🚇 Pre-pandemic passenger numbers were rising fast – we need to get that back as we move towards a mass transit system, going underground when needed
