A series of proposed changes to bus services across Liverpool City Region have been confirmed as a public consultation begins.
The combined authority (CA) has published plans put forward by operators to change public transport frequency across five of the six council areas from September 4. The changes are proposed as bus operators responds to challenges posed by reduced passenger numbers and rising inflation.
On its specialist website documenting the proposed changes, the CA said: “Funding from central government, which has been supporting bus services, is due to end in the autumn of this year. As a consequence of this, it is proposed that changes to bus services in Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens and Wirral are introduced on 4th September 2022.
