Bristol's buses face 'toxic mix of challenges' as public meeting planned to discuss crisis

The bus services in Bristol face a 'toxic mix of challenges', admitted the region's metro mayor today, as he called on people to come along to a public meeting about the crisis being held in South Bristol later this week.

The next biannual Bus Forum meeting will be held in Brislington on Thursday, and will give passengers the chance to quiz representatives of FirstBus and Stagecoach, along with Metro Mayor Dan Norris and councillors from North Somerset, about the crisis on the buses in and around Bristol.

There are plans to axe 18 bus services entirely, and the city's biggest bus company, FirstBus has struggled to meet its timetable with a huge shortage of drivers.
