'Martin Abrams, from the Campaign for Better Transport, said: "Across the country, we are seeing a very worrying trend of declining bus usage, a decline which correlates with the huge funding cuts to local authority supported buses we've seen over recent years."'
So, the fall is as much to do with LAs removing supported services/ lowering of CT schemes, etc.
Anyone like to hazard a guess as to how much operation is directly secured in the Teesside/ Hartlepool areas these days?
