Aberdeen City Council to assess possible First Bus bid Published duration 24 June 2019

Aberdeen City Council is to investigate how it could make a bid to buy the First Aberdeen bus operation.

Aberdeen-based transport firm FirstGroup is looking at spinning off its UK buses arm.

A motion was passed instructing officers to contact those involved in the sale of First Aberdeen and report back on how the council might bid.

The motion, from co-leader Jenny Laing, said the city needed "high quality, affordable, reliable public transport".
