Abstract
Abstract The 1985 Transport Act radically altered the system of provision of bus services in Britain. Considerable research interest was generated by the newly deregulated bus market, focusing on issues of supply, demand and price. This paper adopts as its central theme the reactions of passengers to deregulation. It is known that perceptions of public transport can often be at variance with the physical evidence. Findings are presented from an attitude study with responses from throughout Scotland. Two case studies are then examined. Foxbar in Paisley is an example of an area where changes have been viewed positively, and Bearsden in Glasgow is an example where perceptions were largely negative.
