So, what's going to happen now? Our Prime Minister is talking about a revolution in bus services with talk of 4000 new buses. Yet here in our part of the country we're about to suffer another round of service cuts, reductions and timetable re-arrangements all in a bit for the operator to reduce costs / save money without much regard for their customers; have I been asked for my opinion? Has anyone been asked. I ask one question? Why change something that works?
Reading an article about this new lot of funding, I saw this image:
R&C is on the list for the biggest drops in patronage.
I appreciate the new Teesflex initiative could help to arrest the fall in some of the area, but there needs to be acknowledgement amongst the main operators, that what they're doing isn't working.
I think the question needs to be asked about what they're doing to arrest that fall, which doesn't involve cuts and consolidation.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out that cuts don't equate to more bums on seats.
