Bus services have been cut by more than 80% in the past 15 years in some parts of England and Wales in a silent war on users, research has found.
There has been a silent war on bus users for over a decade. This is not only disproportionately affecting those living on low incomes, people of color and disabled people, who are less likely to own a car, but people who have had to give up their cars as they have got older due to poor health.
Of the 100 constituencies with the greatest decline in bus services, 82 have a Conservative MP. This contrasts with analysis of bus services in London, which have stayed at similar levels for the past 15 years.
