M88 - Public Transport Liveries Motion, barnetlad

'This House notes the benefits to be gained in a city or area from having a common livery for public transport even if operated by different companies and the unifying impact it has, such as red London Buses.

This House therefore supports the extension of this principle on a 12 month trial with Greater Manchester being chosen as one of the areas with the largest number of different companies. Buses, Manchester Metrolink and licensed taxis should all be painted sky blue in colour. Barton Transport (now known as Trent Barton) will not be permitted to set up operations in the area.'

Sky blue? What have you been smoking...

[Mr Dangermouse]

Brilliance.

[rockrunride]

Lovely!

[Birchington]

I do like this idea. How much will it cost to implement though, and how do you intend to get all transport providers to take part - especially those with distinct, nationwide brands such as Stagecoach.

[Morgsie]

The Manchester Transport Authority is not mentioned.

There are a number of Bus Operators in Manchester including Stagecoach and First

Should this not be a bill rather than a motion?

I don't think you quite understood the motion.

Like the motion, but MRLP and barnetlad are really losing their touch. It's funny in a 'ok I get that joke' way, but not in a 'ha-ha' way.

This is in cessation.

This has been withdrawn.
