That’s a good idea, I might investigate those archives if they’re available.

It’s so strange that no one in other local governments could ever envision monopolies forming over something like a bus service (where bus routes are limited anyway).

I wonder what made only Nottingham have the long term vision to do this unlike other local governments. Do you know what the residents’ reaction to this news was when they did it?

“Nationalising” services to a council (idk what that would be called, councilising? lmao?) is so based.

Do you think it’s possible for a local council to build something like that again under this government?

How did Nottingham do it?

How did Nottingham do it? - Lemmy.World

Does anyone know where I can access any resources on how Nottingham developed its public transport netowork to what it is now? It is arguably the 3rd best system in the UK (behind Manchester and London) despite being the 9th largest city. With austerity getting worse in this country, I wonder if there’s anything worth learning about how to establish good public transport on a budget. Maybe similar sized cities like Leicester or even bigger like Leeds can adopt some of the strategies that made Nottingham into an easy place to travel around without a car.

I’m not sure about the economic models of how such cities work, but Manchester and Nottingham have very competent rail/ tram services and public transport. I’m also pretty sure Nottingham also offers free travel to students.

Excluding London, how would you rank UK cities in terms of how good their public transport is?

Fair. I have to visit there one time to get a good idea of it.

This is interesting. I was talking to someone who studies in Sheffield and they said it’s a terrible city for public transport
