	House of Commons - Transport, Local Government and the Regions - Appendices to the Minutes of Evidence
		PTEs are heavily involved in working with bus operators, local authorities and others to promote high quality bus services and facilities within the development of an integrated public transport system for their areas.
		PTE Group believes that the public sector should be able to specify the bus services it requires in PTE areas, therefore, and that operators should compete to provide these services.
		PTE Group continues to be of the view that the Commissioners have insufficient staff to properly "police" that role in a proactive manner.

	LAND PASSENGER TRANSPORT
		Passenger transport is a generic term used to describe both public and private modes of travel for all purposes, whether commuting or other business-related travel, shopping, tourism, recreational and casual travel.
		Land use and transport development are not integrated owing to a fragmentation of responsibilities for the administration, planning and regulation of the various aspects of land use, infrastructure, operations and regulations.
		The approach to passenger transport should shift priority from private to public transport and within the latter sector from the provision of primarily peak period commuter services to a fully fledged public transport system catering for a wide range of passengers.

		(7) The agreements to which a Passenger Transport Executive for a passenger transport area in Scotland may become a party with the approval of the Scottish Minister include franchise agreements under which services are provided which are or include services for the carriage of passengers by railway within that area.
		The amendments are intended to maintain equality between Scotland and England in terms of the role of passenger transport executives in the rail franchising process.
		In other words, we are looking at a balance between private and public transport in the west of Scotland that clearly goes with the grain of the Government's national transport and sustainability objectives.

		The PTE adopted a no-change philosophy and the passengers in return adopted a no-smile philosophy.
		However the PTE liked to dabble, so it began to experiment with variations, reducing the white to a single band (upper right) and eventually replacing it altogether with fashionable 1980's fl (lower right).

		The government insisted that the cost of the project should not exceed £500 million, and at the end of 2005 called for the project to be halted despite the advanced nature of procurement, having learned that it might cost twice the agreed sum.
		A total of 75% of the funding was required from the public sector, with contributions from central government, the government-sponsored but independently-thinking passenger transport executive, and the city council.

	Glossary
		The environmental protection objective involves reducing the impact of transport facilities, and their use, on the environment of both users and non-users.
		For example, a policy might be to reduce the use of private cars and promote public transport use: this policy might be achieved through the instruments of road pricing and lower public transport fares.
		For the public transport system, it means that vehicles depart on time and arrive at all stops on schedule (punctuality).

	Department for Transport - Leigh Busway Inspector's Report
		The LTP aimed at improving public transport into and between District centres, and apart from the development of the Metrolink network it aimed to do this through the creation of Quality Bus Corridors (QBCs), which was a concept that had been developed after considerable research and consultation.
		There would be major enhancements to public transport infrastructure and services, and measures to improve the quality of public transport and present it to passengers as an integrated service.
		However, it was not the sole improvement to public transport either in the corridor or in the Leigh area as a whole, and it should therefore not be criticised for not being a total solution to the problems, or for not accessing other destinations that were of interest to local people.

	Disabled Persons Transport Advisory Committee (DPTAC)
		Buses and coaches are therefore a key element of public transport and I like to think DPTAC have achieved a fair amount in the last 10 years.
		It is also to a large extent about education: educating the drivers about dealing with disabled passengers and educating managers about vehicle choice, good operating practices and the importance of disability awareness training for staff.
		Their aim is to attract more passengers, passengers who will stay travelling by bus rather than be put off by it.

		The problem now facing the transport executive is that some of the grants are becoming exhausted and the organisation does not have the capacity in its own budget to make up the shortfall.
		In future the executive is keen to focus on grants which help to establish services that become self-financing in future.
		Executive spokesman David Young said: "If you set up something in an isolated community it is not, and never will be, commercially viable and it creates a dependency on central Government funding.

		She further accepted an argument that Section 63 of the Transport Act 1985 gave Strathclyde Regional Council and its statutory successors wide powers which included contracting with the defenders in their area of skill and expertise relative to the provision of Passenger Transport Services within the geographical area with which the case is concerned.
		I agree with the submission that the Regional Council are not restricted to the appointment of agents.
