Is Somerset Council not then protecting the full existing bus budget? Surely it's penny wise pound foolish. We bus passengers need every extra avail bus subsidy for our rural areas. Get in touch with your parish, town and county councillors NOW Protect existing bus budget

Great to hear @LouHaigh talking about targeted fare support for young people on buses. We’re looking forward to further conversations with DfT to shape the future of bus fares across the UK and ensure everyone can access buses when they need to.

Announcement 18/11 £1 billion buses boost cash area allocations mirror.co.uk/news/politics/b… Somerset has a huge 'need', pockets of high levels of deprivation (esp Yeovil &Bridgwater), under funded bus services in towns &rural areas. More funding needed from Somerset Council &gov.

Buses get £1 billion boost - how much cash each area will get confirmed

Transport Secretary Louise Haigh said it would bring to an end the postcode lottery of unreliable bus services - with funding allocated on need, levels of deprivation and population
