A Falkirk councillor says more must be done to improve local bus services that too often mean people are unable to get to work, shops and health appointments on time.
Conservative councillor Claire Mackie-Brown warned that the issue was being increasingly raised by residents facing regular problems as a result of unreliable services.
And she admitted solutions could include taking up the Scottish Government's offer to allow local authorities to take over bus services - or even running less frequent but more reliable services.
