All councils are facing severe budget problems and are likely to do so for several years to come. Every month we hear of another area drastically cutting its tendered bus service network. The recent Campaign for Better Transport survey shows that 46% of authorities reduced their expenditure in this area during 2013/14. The Passenger Transport Executive Group predicts a reduction in annual expenditure of £500m over the four years from 2010, allowing for inflation.
