Decision On Changes To Bus Timetable To Be Given In 7 Days

A meeting has been held today between the Chief Minister and 3 North Douglas MHK's.

The 3 hour meeting was to discuss the new bus timetable which has been met with uproar from bus passengers and some MHK's.

There have been complaints that the help line set up has proved insufficient. In the meeting the Minister of Community, Culture and Leisure himself tried the phone number and couldn't get through.

Many issues were discussed at great length which included bus routes, timetables, delayed journey times and the way drivers have been treated as we enter into the third week of the new arrangements.

The Director of Public Transport was also present.

A review of the new routes will take place and will be presented in a weeks time.
