OXFORD’S bus chiefs were quizzed yesterday by the very people who use their services.
Organised by Bus Users UK, the surgery took place on a parked bus in Broad Street and gave the public the chance to have their say about the city’s bus services.
Representatives from Oxford Bus Company, Stagecoach and Thames Travel were joined by representatives from Oxfordshire County Council and Passenger Focus among others.
Linda McCord, of Passenger Focus, said: “The key is to allow passengers to have a voice and hear what they say.
“The very fact that the bus operators in Oxford spent a few hours talking to passengers shows they are interested in what they have to say.”
Hugh Jaeger, Bus Users UK’s Oxford group chairman, said: “We have had enquiries about all sorts of different bus services from South Oxfordshire to North Oxfordshire.”
Bus Users UK will also hold one of its six-monthy forums in the Assembly Room at Oxford’s Town Hall on Tuesday, October 25, at 6pm.
