Bus services cut by more than 80% in parts of England and Wales since 2008, finds study
Bus services have been cut by more than 80% in some parts of England and Wales over the past 15 years, with urban and rural services both seeing significant decreases.
The decline in bus services disproportionately affects those on low incomes, people of color, disabled individuals, and older adults who have given up their cars due to poor health.
Of the 100 constituencies with the greatest decline in bus services, 82 have a Conservative MP, while bus services in London have remained stable for the past 15 years. [ more ]
