We recognise that some buses may seem less crowded during midday hours or at the start of routes. While there might be fewer riders during certain times on specific routes, these services remain essential links for our communities.
Most of our costs remain fixed, irrespective of the bus's operational status. Therefore, discontinuing services at certain times wouldn't result in significant financial savings.
Additionally, you may see Not-in-Service (NIS) buses, which are necessary for moving vehicles to another route for scheduling or for safety mandated driver breaks. These movements help to keep services running smoothly.
Over 3.4 million customers travelled by bus in the region last year.
