FUEL COST RESULTS * UK - More and more are on the buses
Bournemouth,Dorset,UK -This is Dorset, by Julie Magee -15 May 2008: -- As fuel prices continue to rise and driving costs soar, more Bournemouth residents are switching to bus travel, according to new figures... During the past year the number of bus passenger journeys in the borough has increased by 18 per cent, one of the highest rises in the country... Bournemouth council, which has just withdrawn its subsidy from some routes formerly run by Yellow Buses, insists that rising passenger numbers reflect routes being linked to demand... But critics, including Cllr Ron Whittaker, are furious that less profitable routes in outlying areas like Throop and Muscliff are being curtailed... (Picture: High Rise in Passenger Numbers.
