COVID 19 Emergency Timetables

We are finding that due to the lack of congestion in the city, bus journey times have been reduced. The last thing both passengers and drivers want is to be sat in a bus stop waiting for the timetabled departure time before setting off again.We have updated a number of our services, reducing running time, so the journey is speed up. We have not reduced any frequencies, or cut any journeys. Just made the current journeys faster.
