Unions must work harder to keep fares down

14 Aug 2012

Responding to news that Scottish rail fares are to increase by more than four per cent, Scottish Conservative transport spokesman Alex Johnstone MSP said:

“What is important is the unions work with the operators to ensure further rises are not incurred.

“There have been many threats of industrial action over various issues in recent years, but we now need the unions to try and squeeze unnecessary future costs out.

“If people are being asked to spend more money on fares, they expect to see a higher quality of service.”
