• Scottish bus passengers are "content" with the services now provided following deregulation 18 months ago, according to a Scottish Office report.
The report claims that deregulation has not led to the collapse of services in urban or rural areas, as had been widely predicted, and that more operators are now providing services and covering a greater distance.
The report also says that bus networks are largely unchanged, and that socially necessary, uneconomic services have been preserved by subsidy arrangements, normally at a lower cost.
