UK Bus Industry Inquiry launched

[timelesstable]

The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) has referred the UK's local bus services to the Competition Commission over concerns about pricing

The OFT said it had found evidence that limited competition between operators tended to result in higher prices (fares) and lower quality of service for passengers

Bus Services in London and NI will be excluded from the Competition Commission's inquiry

Bus Firms said there was a considerable amount of competition in the industry.

There were good things and bad things about deregulation in 1986.

The kind of investigation here is highlighting one of the bad things.
