From today, services 1/5 on Monday to Saturday will be increased. The new frequencies will be up to every four minutes on Monday to Friday daytimes, up to every five minutes Saturday daytimes and up to every seven to eight minutes during the evenings.
No changes will be made to the Sunday timetable.
Shared city services 2, 3, 8 and 9 will see the regular Saturday timetables reintroduced from Saturday. The additional connections to the vaccination centre at Kassam Stadium on the 3a service which were introduced in January will remain, to continue to provide crucial daily links.
Martin Gibbon, operations director at Stagecoach Oxfordshire, said: “We’ve all worked so well together, and as the country starts to unlock, it’s still important that people continue to follow all the guidelines in place as they travel on our services."
