Rejected petition Reinstate the 46 bus route in Great Barr so we are looking after the elderly
The Government has stopped vital funding for these routes to operate and have instead put other companies in charge of a similar route in which we are having to wait longer than the antisipated 20 minute slot for a bus to get to vital connections to and from the Scott Arms, Great Barr, West Bromwich
More details
We would like the government to reconsider there decision to cut this funding in which is not only impacting the elderly people but also sometimes both the young and elderly community in our area are having to wait longer than one hour for a bus which is unnaceptable which is why we need the 46 to be reinstated so that we can have a more reliable and frequent service.
