Perth & Kinross Council Area - Local Bus Service Changes from 08 January 2007
The council (yesterday) issued a list of all the changes, and also added complete downloadable copies of each area booklet to the Perthshire.com website. I've also now got the last two of the new Perth & Kinross Council local area transport guides (Kinross & Bridge of Earn, and Highland Perthshire areas) paper copies delivered at work. The council's release says...
Over recent months, the Public Transport Unit has retendered the majority of the Council's local bus service contracts.
The new contracts are to be implemented from Monday, 08 January 2007 and will result in a number of changes being made to local bus services, including: timetable improvements; the introduction of new wheelchair accessible vehicles on certain corridors; adjustments to some journeys to allow more reliable operation; and in several cases a change of operator.
