This statement follows a previous release from 9Taxi criticising the government’s nationalisation of both Arriva and First Bus, in which the Chief Operating Officer emphasised the need for private companies to stand up for themselves against government control.
The newest release also proposes that the Transport for London Commissioner be made a impartial role that can not be held in tandem with political office, mandated by law.
Today’s release shows that companies are demanding independence in their operations and freedom from government regulation, scrutiny, and if the government were to become involved, its on the sides of British businesses, not politics.
