C60 Bus update – £84000 has been inputted from council and running for another year. Complaints regarding certain services. Three drivers, 6am waste service. No bus service during the day – unable to attend shops, dentist etc. plan to review Saturday timetable and see what services are needed as time needed during the week. Aim is to have 630 passengers a month but currently we are not meeting target. Pilot scheme one day of a week to use for mid-day services.
Buses were not connecting with 59 and people being left so the transport department is looking at situations.
The operation is now fully underway; however, user numbers are still not overly high. There have been reports of the bus having problems with the card machine, however this is getting addressed. The matter of the bus scheduled was raised and addressed, with members of the public reporting that the gap between 9am-4pm was meaning the bus was not being used to its full potential. Stirling councils are still looking at recruiting new drivers and the programme is being pushed out of social media, as well as the C60 timetable to encourage more people to use the bus.
