It seems none of the changes that came in to effect (multiple operators) on 2nd of January have made it to Google Maps or Traveline, or anything that uses whatever they get their source data from.

That includes routes the Ely changes ended, the 32 that changed times, the 31 that ended for new X31.

CPCA, making this decision today, against the view of the Transport Committee, effectively have ignored their Bus Service Review Framework which specifically mentions Engagement, and has a whole section covering Stakeholder Engagement.

Not once has the fact that one of the routes covers around 20 bus stops that the alternative "duplicate route" doesn't cover, nor that it doesn't go to the same place (19A route).

But of course, CPCA may have found that detail if they'd have done the resident engagement that the Framework mentions.

CPCA have voted to scrap two bus routes without resident engagement.

Numbers in a report enough to base a decision on, not asking any of the passengers that use the services or those who don't use them but could do.

Transport committee had told the Board there should be resident engagement.

I have been working with Stagecoach for over a year to get the 4 to stop at Bourn Quarter so people don’t have to walk 10-20 minutes down a pitch black access road without a pavement.
All signed off, 140 day notice period completed, and they’ve just pulled the plug with no notice at all. Not happy.

No, just imagine if every bus company and every local transporter authority produce maps like this…

Why can't every commercial bus company market their services like this? (And like Alex did at Transdev Blazefield Harrogate Bus Cº) Don't they want increased ridership and revenue?
