Extinction Rebellion activists surround Bristol Airport bus in transport protest

Activists blocked a Bristol Airport bus in South Bristol again at the weekend, as part of a campaign to highlight the double standards of bus provision in Bristol.

The campaigners from Bristol’s Extinction Rebellion Youth stopped the bus leaving a northbound stop outside Asda on Bedminster Parade, as it was on its way back to the city centre from the airport at lunchtime on Saturday.

It comes as Bristol Live launched its campaign for Better Buses for Bristol, demanding an end to the proposed further cuts to bus services across the West of England, and for Metro Mayor Dan Norris to start the ball rolling on taking back control of the bus services with a franchise system.
