How has the SNP improved Scotland’s rail services?
The SNP in government took ScotRail back into public ownership – and that has delivered real results for the people of Scotland. Without this, we could never have scrapped peak rail fares, saving commuters on some routes as much as £2,000 a year.
How is the SNP improving Scotland’s ferry services?
The SNP recognises that our ferry network provides a vital lifeline service and since re-election has delivered and brought in additional vessels to the service as well as commissioning new ones.
How is the SNP improving Scotland’s bus services?
The SNP in government has invested £300 million annually to deliver free bus travel for all children and young people under 22, disabled people, and everyone aged 60 and over; delivering the most generous concessionary fare scheme in the UK.
How has the SNP improved Scotland’s transport network?
The SNP fully recognises the crucial role of transport infrastructure in supporting sustainable economic growth and access to essential services. In government we have a long track record of investing in significant capital infrastructure such as the Queensferry Crossing.
