Foreword
The Transport (Scotland) Act 2005 received Royal Assent on 5 August. It places a duty on Scottish Ministers to establish a Public Transport Users' Committee for Scotland.
Nicol Stephen, the then Minister for Transport, gave a commitment during the passage of the Bill in Parliament to establish a multi-modal Public Transport Users' Committee and stressed the importance of consulting on the details of the new body prior to creating it.
I believe that for this influential body to represent effectively the interests of public transport users, the views of users, potential future users and providers on the establishment of the committee must be taken into consideration. I believe strongly that the consultation should be wide-ranging because public transport provision affects all of us.
In this consultation paper, options are explored and your views are invited. I would also welcome your views on any alternative suggestions you may have.
Tavish Scott MSP
Minister for Transport
December 2005
