Proposed service cuts by bus operators are “perverse” according to the Liverpool City Region Metro Mayor.
A two-week consultation was held on amendments to public transport services across five of the six boroughs, scheduled to come in from September. Operators have put forward dozens of changes including reductions to services into Liverpool city centre on weekends, two services withdrawn in St Helens while some routes between Knowsley and Liverpool will be changed.
Some services could also be cut back in Sefton. The online consultation was launched last month as operators respond to challenges posed by reduced passenger numbers and rising inflation.
