The C60 bus is currently set to stop running at the end of this month after current operators Kingshouse Travel said they lacked drivers for the route.
There is uncertainty over a “lifeline” Stirlingshire rural bus route as councillors face the potential of axing the service.
Since then, the council has been working to find a solution to continue service on the rural route - including putting the route up for tender offers in September and then again in January. Cllr Jen Preston, convener of the environment, transport and net zero committee, said: “Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, we have been unable to find a cost- efficient alternative operation for the service, following the withdrawal of Kingshouse Travel.
“We have explored all options to keep the route going because we know people rely on it for traveling to and from work, for leisure and other appointments. The group met earlier this to discuss a way forward - with losing the bus considered a massive blow for the village in the wake of previous cuts. “No access for many to employment, college, school clubs, NHS appointments, social events, family etc will have an impact on the sustainability of the village and people choosing to move to the area.
