Axing services will have 'huge safety implications for women, vulnerable people and people of marginalised genders'.
First Bus is being urged to reconsider its “extremely disappointing” decision to scrap night buses in Glasgow, as opponents claim the move raises “huge safety implications”.
“It would seem more sensible for services to be reviewed to better meet customer needs and increase uptake, rather than slashed entirely,” she said. “It’s vital that all partners urgently come together to figure out how the service can be retained and improved.” They also want young people to be able to use their under-22 national entitlement cards for free travel on late night routes.
She said the change would restrict “access to jobs, healthcare and socialising”. “The evidence is clear: Glaswegians want more, not less, evening services that are affordable, accessible, safe and convenient.”
