BUS services in Scotland are on “the brink of collapse” due to unreliable and unaffordable fares, Scottish Labour has said.

The party is urging the Scottish government to introduce a cap on fares to prevent people seeking alternative transport.

Some 130 operators in England have signed up to cap fares at £2 for the first three months of the year, and Scottish Labour’s transport spokesman Neil Bibby has urged Scotland to follow suit.
