The state of rural bus services in Stirling have come into sharp focus again as one service saw at least 10 scheduled services cancelled on Monday – leaving passengers stranded.
The number 59 service between Callander and Stirling is a vital lifeline for many aiming to get to work or into the city for vital medical appointments but an ongoing driver shortage saw many buses on the route disappear on Monday.
It’s part of a wider trend of cancellations over recent months which have left passengers fed up with the state of local bus routes.
