Impact of the pandemic and other factors on transport services and operating costs
This report is being presented to the
Environment & Economy Scrutiny Committee following a
recommendation of the Recovery Committee meeting held in November
2021, which highlighted two new red risks that public bus services
(commercial and subsidised) were becoming financially unsustainable
due to reduced passenger numbers and transport operating costs were
increasing while the number of available transport operators to
provide services was reducing. The report outlines how public bus
services have been funded during the pandemic along with the impact
on operators and service levels, as well as future
developments.
