Have your say on South Yorkshire bus route changes

BUS bosses are gathering views on a shake-up of Rotherham bus services.

Dozens of routes are affected in the borough, including the following: X78, X1, A1, 13, 23, 27, 29, 31, 34, 37, 66, 72, 74/74a, 111/112, 114, 115, 116, 135, 136, 137, 138, 139, 140, 141,142, 227, and new services X74 and 208.

South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive’s public consultation will seek passenger views on proposed changes to the frequency and routes of some services. 

Sheffield services X78, X1, M17, 10/10a, 31/31a, 32, 66, 74/74a, 135 and X74, Doncaster routes X78, 10/10a and 41 and the 227 and 136 in Barnsley are all under discussion.

SYPTE director of customer services, Tim Taylor, said: “Through the local bus partnerships, bus companies are proposing changes from February 2019 that aim to improve the frequency of services on busy corridors, and provide better access to places of employment, education and hospitals. 

“Some of the suggestions included in the consultation have already come from feedback from communities, local councillors and MPs. 

“We encourage as many people as possible to participate and have their say, so all views and options can be considered before any changes are put in place.”

You can find out more details of the proposals and have your say until December 9 at www.travelsouthyorkshire.com/Feb2019.
