A number of changes are being made to bus routes in and around Witney aimed at securing services.
Stagecoach West said these changes are designed to create a more sustainable bus network that can keep customers connected.
The changes will come into effect on Sunday August 28.
Rachel Geliamassi, managing director of Stagecoach West, said: “As travel needs and habits change, we need to constantly review and adapt our routes.
"These changes ensure that our bus services are sustainable for the future and reflect the travel needs of our customers, providing services they can rely on.”
