“It should be questioned why councillors are instructing a review of public transport using £50K of taxpayers’ money'
The £50,000 study will initially aim to better understand travel behaviours and identify barriers, needs and demands related to provision in the area.
SNP council leader Iain Nicolson said on Thursday: “We know about the concerns of local residents about the gaps in some of the local public transport provision. “He’s got his own point of view and that’s fine…I think there’s an area of compromise we’re not quite getting to with some of these because some of the service withdrawals are less about finances and more about access and obstruction, so that presents a new challenge to us as a council.“We’ve done it tons of times. It doesn’t change anything.”
“If we address the example used by Councillor McMillan, he notes that London has cheaper fares – yet completely ignores that buses in London have the highest subsidy towards their running costs in the UK.
