Transport for London (TfL) is proposing to cancel the 654 school bus route due to insufficient ridership, with only 40 morning and 60 afternoon passengers. This route primarily serves students attending Harris Academy Orpington, but usage remains low, prompting TfL to reassess its operational efficiency. The proposed changes would encourage resource redistribution to better meet demand on other bus services. Passengers between Chelsfield and the academy would require connecting services instead of a direct route. A public consultation is open until March 9 for feedback on this decision.
Transport for London is considering axing the 654 school bus route, which serves Harris Academy Orpington, due to low passenger numbers.
TfL states that less than 100 passengers are using route 654 daily, prompting a review of its efficiency and resource allocation.
Most passengers can still travel between Addington and Harris Academy via bus routes 664 or 353, but direct service options will reduce.
A consultation regarding changes to the bus route is currently underway, allowing the public to voice their opinions by March 9.
