Time for a Solution to St John's Bus Issue

It's time for a solution to be found to the on-going concerns about the failure of the City Council to ensure that there is a bus service taking pupils from the West End to St John's High School.

The City Council needs to pull out all the stops to find a solution to getting a bus service to St John's from the West End. The bus companies say such a service is unprofitable, and that may well be the case, I think that there should be more regulation on bus companies. Bus companies should have to offer a bus service and not just pick profitable services. However, this will not solve the problem in the short term. I believe that the City Council has the power to solve this issue if the will is there. There are examples of other bus services which are supported by the council, I also think that they could look at alternative arrangements.

It is clear that a solution is required before bad weather and dark nights and mornings come in. The City Council should listen to the concerns of parents in the West End.
