This is going to be devastating, particularly in the rural community that we have because the services have been cut back
00:07
and what we need is clean, reliable, safe and frequent bus services.
00:15
If I want to go anywhere in the evening, it's nonsense.
00:18
I went to a demo in London, but because we were late coming back,
00:24
we missed the last bus to get from Whitfield down into Dover, so I had to walk.
00:33
And with my mobility being poor, because I'm a pensioner now, that was a real issue.
00:40
Our belief is that buses should be run for the public, but at the moment they're not being.
00:45
So we're seeing today the 61, 64 being cut back.
00:49
So whilst we can campaign against that, what we really need to see is it running in the interest of the public
00:54
and not for private shareholders up in Perth.
00:57
Going from what it is now, 20, 30 minutes an hour, to one an hour.
01:01
Imagine that, you've got an appointment at a hospital, you've got cancer, and you've got to wait for an hour for a bus.
01:06
It's horrific. At the end of the day, a bus service is supposed to be for the public and not just the shareholders.
01:13
It impacts me very, very hard because I need surgery appointments.
01:17
I've got a heart condition with COPD and other things.
01:21
So I need surgery appointments and I need hospital appointments.
01:25
And you can't always get them within the time frame that the timetable has been stated,
01:30
roughly between 9 o'clock and 2 o'clock.
01:33
Anything outside of that is a taxi or a train.
