Bus operators First and Arriva have refused to rule out making further service cuts, though both say they now want to “grow” the network.
Asked by Bradford Council leader Susan Hinchcliffe if they could rule out further cuts, Kayleigh Ingram from First Bus said: “What I’d say is it’s not in our interests to cut services. We know it’s a huge point of feedback and it’s not something we want to do.
“I think we’ve made real headway over the last six to 12 months in planning for service changes, ensuring we’re listening to district leaders on the wishes of their constituents and trying to respond to those as best we can, while bearing in mind that the sustainability of the network relies on, in many respects, profitable services.”
Kim Cain, Arriva Yorkshire’s commercial director, offered similar sentiments. She told councillors: “We are always trying to grow the network. We still do have a couple of routes of concern but I’m very optimistic that colleagues at the Combined Authority will be able to find solutions to those.”
