OXFORDSHIRE LEADS WAY ON SELF-HELP TRANSPORT

This brief article describes two of the schemes used in Oxfordshire to counteract the phasing out of public transport subsidies: car pooling and the use of school buses for wider local purposes. Mention is made of two other possible solutions: a luxury bus and the staggering of working hours within the county council. The latter schemes are not implemented yet. /TRRL/
