A Cardiff councillor has expressed concern over the challenges that the elderly and disabled in her ward face when it comes to getting the bus. Councillor Bablin Molik feels that the elderly and those who are less mobile are being left behind when it comes to transport in the city.
On repeated occasions, said Cllr Molik, those who are less mobile in the community have approached her to raise their concerns about using bus services to get across the city. "Pensioners in Cyncoed are left isolated and lonely as their source of independence, their bus service, has been non-existent in much of the area," she said.
"Having an inclusive, reliable and sustainable transport system in the capital is key to the success of the city in terms of its economy, growth and environmental benefits and equally importantly for the social mobility, equality and wellbeing of the city's people." Two key concerns that Cllr Molik, along with her fellow ward member, Cllr Robert Hopkins, have raised to Cardiff Bus recently is the frequency of service 52 and the lack of service along Lake Road West.
