Bus Services Act 2017
Public General Act of Parliament of the United Kingdom
Summary
The Bus Services Act 2017 is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It provides for local transport authorities to create partnership schemes to improve bus services in their areas, and to introduce advanced ticketing schemes. The Act also provides for mayoral combined authorities to partially re-regulate bus services by creating franchise schemes similar to the one operated by Transport for London. It, however, prohibits local authorities from reversing complete bus deregulation, which had taken place following the Transport Act 1985, by forming a company for the purpose of providing local services.

Added new redirect, although maybe there's scope for an article to explain what bus franchising actually is; see [[Bus deregulation in Great Britain]].
