My critic is all around the ring road, you know, it's how he runs everywhere, isn't it?
00:07
And they're pointing down to a lack of hate, a lack of people using the buses.
00:10
What I'm thinking is, the people who live on the back of our escape, they rely on them too.
00:20
It's just a shame because a lot of people haven't got the money for cars and not lucky to drive, so I do think,
00:27
I should think of them, people, and the elderly are on their own and can't go out.
00:32
So even a little bus ride, it gets them to chat to somebody and to see somebody.
00:37
Ridiculous, aren't they? Ridiculous.
00:39
Who do you reckon is going to be the most affected for it?
00:42
Old people. Old people. Disabled people as well, people who find it hard to get around?
00:46
Yeah, yeah, I think that'd be the most affected as well.
00:48
So do you reckon, because they said, it's all to save money as well, trying to save money on the service itself,
00:53
to keep it going and whatnot, do you reckon that's the right move?
00:57
Would you reckon we should try and cut services somewhere else?
01:00
Try and cut the service somewhere else.
01:03
Try and keep the public transport the way it is.
