Cuts are causing misery for commuters
The West Yorkshire Mayor has branded Arriva’s service cuts “appalling”, causing “misery” for commuters, as the latest round draws attention back to the problems facing the major bus operator.
At the same time, Kim Cain, Area Director for Arriva Yorkshire apologised that services have not been performing at the levels passengers "rightly expect" and said that the operator is "determined" to change this. His sister, Sophie, shared similar concerns and also reported feeling unsafe, being left “stranded” in the evenings as her bus hadn’t turned up. In October, she said she had faced four cancellations over the space of two weeks, costing her £48 in taxis.
Mayor Brabin said this week: “It's appalling that Arriva have cut bus services across West Yorkshire – causing misery for commuters.
