A Member of Parliament has expressed frustration over changes to bus timetables without consultation, highlighting the need for his proposed 'Bus Bill' to require operators to consult passengers. The MP has raised the issue with the Minister for Buses and emphasized the importance of listening to local residents. Despite government efforts to promote bus use, the lack of consultation undermines these initiatives.
As someone who didn’t learn to drive until his late 20s, I totally understand the frustrations bus users have with missed buses, late buses and ever changing timetables.
One of the main issues raised was changes to timetables without consultation or warning. That’s why, earlier this year, I brought forward a ‘Bus Bill’ in Parliament to change the law to require bus operators to consult passengers before services are changed. I can assure residents I won’t give up on this and have already raised this concern strongly when I met the Minister for Buses.
