Council promises, that a long awaited report on bus services in the City would shed some light on reliability issues, have once again been broken.
The report was originally to have been considered at a meeting in September.
The impending report was used in August as an excuse for not publishing the information gathered by the Councils “Mystery Travellers”. They check on the reliability of local bus services.
We were told that this information would be included in the report.
The report will compare buses in York with those elsewhere in the world
Eventually the report was put back to a meeting which the Councils forward plan said would be considered between “01/10/12 and 31/10/12”.
Although this date is still shown in the current Council forward plan, with only 2 days left to go in the month, that now seems highly unlikely. http://tinyurl.com/Bus-Imp-York
No explanation for the delay has been forthcoming.
The next meeting on transport policy is not scheduled to take place until 19th November.
We think that the York Council Cabinet members responsible should show more respect for bus service passengers in the City!
