PEOPLE are being asked what they think of local bus services.
The call comes from Warwickshire County Council which wants ideas on the improvements that need to be made to the service.
More than 1,600 people took part in a consultation last summer to help shape the Warwickshire Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP) which was published in November 2021.
The BSIP set out desired improvements to the bus network in response to the National Bus Strategy which, subject to funding, will encourage more people to use buses.
This new public consultation means views are needed again to shape and finalise the next stage of an Enhanced Partnership (EP) Plan and the first Warwickshire EP Scheme, which must be formally agreed with bus operators by April 1 this year..
The consultation survey is open until 1 February 2022.
When finalised, the Enhanced Partnership Plan aims to provide more frequent and reliable buses and cheaper tickets within a more comprehensive and integrated network of routes.
The plans will also support the council in its bid to central Government for a £150million share of the £3bn funding available to local authorities to boost bus travel to 2025.
