Bus service after the Spending Review

Written evidence from S Hicks (BUS 93)

The current bus service between Yeovil Junction and the town centre now runs half hourly for much of the day (hourly on Sundays) and provides a useful connection into and out of rail services, thus making a joined up journey by public transport easier - the road is just about walkable distance wise but is secluded, unlit, has no footpath and is not that pleasant.

To encourage use of public transport instead of private cars, such a joined up service, with decent connections, is highly desirable if not essential.  Hopefully this will be part of the government's transport strategy going forward.
