Bus Services - CUT

I read this article with interest.

In this time of financial hardship people are reliant on the bus service for transport. But it appears that the bus services are not immune to the Tory/Lib Dem Coalition cuts.

It is sad to see these changes and cuts in the bus service especially for elderly people.  The petrol prices are going up due to increased oil prices and increased VAT.  People are losing benefits and jobs which means there is less money coming in.  So everyone is trying to be prudent with their money.

The bus pass is available but there are no buses to use it.  So this was another publicity stunt by the local Tories.

The public is told by local Tories that front line services are protected.  Is Bus Service upon which so many people rely to get around in their daily business not a front line service?  No wonder the people are so frustrated and angry.
