A bus service taking people to a Tibetan monastery in Dumfriesshire costs nearly £45 per passenger to run.
A report for today’s meeting of the SWestrans board reveals how many passengers use each of the services the transport partnership issues contracts for and the average cost per passenger.
And it shows that 1,768 people a year use the 124 service between Langholm and the Samye Ling Tibetan Centre at Eskdalemuir – an average cost of £43.21 per passenger for the 15 mile journey.
