MP Khalid Mahmood believes distinctive yellow school buses should be introduced across the country to cut traffic and improve child safety. Read his ideas and the ideas from other Labour MPs inside.
MP Khalid Mahmood believes the British government should follow the lead of others around the world providing specific school transport. "If elected for a fourth term a Labour government should introduce yellow school buses to every local authority in the UK. The buses would take children to and from schools, picking up and dropping off at a large number of sites. These buses would cut congestion in our crowded urban areas, improve pupil safety and reduce harmful carbon emissions.
"This scheme will make an important contribution to our environment, to transport and to child safety programmes. A few such schemes have already been set up in some local authorities and have shown positive results in terms of congestion levels in these areas. Initial plans should include a ten area trial followed by a period of consultation before a national roll out of the scheme within two years."
