NEW WAYS FORWARD - PUBLIC TRANSPORT ALTERNATIVES IN CLWYD

The report reviews schemes for alternative forms of public transport in the rural area of Clwyd. As a result of increasing costs and declining services of orthodox bus operations, alternative minimum-cost transport has been introduced. These schemes include voluntary social car service, voluntary essential car scheme, community mini-bus, off-peak conventional bus services, and, reduced fare experiments. The report discusses the implementation of the individual schemes, the areas over which they were operated and analyses the results. /TRRL/
