Students from Sussex University’s Conservative Society have launched a petition that calls on the Competition Commission to change the rules governing bus service competition in order to encourage and enable smaller providers, such as the Big Lemon Bus Company, to successfully operate services.
 
Mike Weatherley, the Conservative Member of Parliament for Hove and Portslade, has come out in support of the campaign.

Commenting, Mike said:
“It is no secret that Brighton & Hove Buses have a monopoly in our city. I urge residents to stand up to this transport giant by supporting this campaign to help smaller providers like the Big Lemon. Predatory practices that force out competitors are damaging to everyone in the long-run. I hope that the Competition Commission will review this case.”
