Improvement 10: Improve public transport by bus

The Friday Afternoon Group is run by volunteers and meets to chat and socialise at the Health Resource Centre in the West End.

The group has proposed improved public transport by bus due to concerns that lots of buses have only a few passengers on board, fares are expensive and many services are duplicated and often compete with Metro routes.

They propose more flexibility, with smaller buses off peak and larger ones in peak time as well as more small buses on estates providing hail and ride services. The group has also suggested that Sundays should be treated as a working day due to the number of people who rely on public transport to get to work. Overall they feel that this could help improve the environment and make services more cost effective.
