With inflation rising, energy prices soaring, national insurance increases, now more than ever public transport is an necessity for getting to work and getting around in our daily lives. So the cost of transport is another burden on the shoulders of those struggling to make ends meet. All the more reason to shout for public transport to be taken into public ownership with proper investment for a system run on a not for profit basis. why should our daily lives be burden with making a profit for a bunch of very rich shareholders.
An event that should be worth supporting:
Dear Get Glasgow Moving supporters,

This gives us even more reason to take to the streets! We're involved in organising several events and actions over the next two weeks to demand better public transport.
There are two we're particularly keen for you to attend:
