Municipal bus companies Totally Explained

Everything about Municipal Bus Companies totally explained

A municipal bus company is an operator of bus services owned by the local government authority. This article lists all current municipal bus companies in the United Kingdom. Several municipal bus companies disappeared in 1968 and 1974 with the formation of the PTE bus operations.
Of the remaining municipals, post-1986 many were sold off or collapsed in the process of bus deregulation, which required their separation into stand-alone arms length companies. A few remainging companies have accepted minority stake holdings in their companies by private bus operating companies, as a method of securing investment.
