**Title: Seeking Consultation on Amendments to Public Transport Ticketing Schemes Block Exemption Order**

In an ever-evolving transport landscape, it remains imperative that our legal frameworks adapt to meet the changing needs of both consumers and providers. As part of this commitment, we are delighted to announce a consultation designed to gather invaluable feedback on the legal drafting of an Order amending the Competition Act 1998 (Public Transport Ticketing Schemes Block Exemption) Order 2001.

The Competition Act 1998 has been instrumental in fostering competitive environments within public transport ticketing. However, as technology advances and new ticketing methods emerge, it is essential that the relevant legislative components reflect current practices while encouraging innovation and consumer choice.

This amendment seeks to address several key areas that have been highlighted by stakeholders across the public transport sector. In particular, it aims to ensure that the Block Exemption Order remains relevant in light of innovations such as mobile ticketing apps, account-based ticketing systems, and integrated fare structures, which enhance user experience and accessibility.

We invite all interested parties, including transport operators, ticketing service providers, consumer representatives, and regulatory bodies, to engage in this consultation process. Your insights will play a critical role in shaping an Order that not only complies with legal standards but also supports a vibrant and competitive public transport network.

Specifically, feedback is sought on the clarity of the proposed amendments, their practical implications, and their efficacy in promoting fair competition. Stakeholders are encouraged to consider how the changes may impact their operations and the wider public, as well as any potential barriers that might arise from the legal language used in the drafting.

The consultation period will be open until [insert end date], and we strongly recommend participating stakeholders submit their feedback through the designated channels. This initiative provides a unique opportunity to influence the future of public transport ticketing in the UK, ensuring a system that is not only legally sound but responsive to the needs of its users.

Together, by focusing on robust legal frameworks and inclusive dialogue, we can enhance the efficacy of public transport ticketing schemes and foster an environment that encourages innovation and fairness in competition. Your voice matters—please engage with this crucial consultation to co-create a better public transport future.
