Metro Mayor says proposed bus cuts show why system needs to change

Liverpool City Region Mayor Steve Rotheram says proposed cuts to bus routes and services in the region show why a change to our transport region is needed.

Local operators are proposing a full list of changes and reductions to bus routes and services in the city region from September. The changes are proposed as bus companies respond to challenges posed by reduced passenger numbers and rising inflation.

Dozens of changes have been proposed across the region, including a number of reductions to services into Liverpool city centre on weekends, two services withdrawn in St Helens while some routes between Knowsley and Liverpool will be changed.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 are also being reduced in Sefton.
