Maintenance of Service Frequency for the 41 Odd Down Park & Ride Bus Service

To fund an additional bus during peak hours for the 41 Odd Down Park & Ride service, ensuring the preservation of its current 15-minute frequency. This investment is critical to maintaining the reliability and attractiveness of the service, particularly during peak traffic periods when congestion is at its worst. By ensuring the service remains dependable, the Council not only enhances the convenience for current users but also encourages greater public transport use, reducing the number of vehicles entering the city centre. This aligns with the Council’s broader objectives of reducing congestion, lowering emissions, and promoting sustainable transport options, which are essential for improving air quality and the overall quality of life in the community. The decision to supplement the route with an additional bus is a proactive measure that supports long-term environmental goals, enhances public health outcomes, and strengthens the Park & Ride service as a vital component of the city’s transportation network.
