Brighton & Hove City Council has agreed to protect the city’s entire supported bus network (19 routes) for the next four years with £150,000 additional investment.
Gill Mitchell, lead councillor for transport, said: “I am pleased we have been able to protect all of these routes which are often a lifeline for local communities to connect people to the city.
“We are also providing a small number of improvements that residents asked for, such as better connections in the east of the city between Ovingdean, Rottingdean and Saltdean through the 47 route serving Ovingdean during the day.”
Total budget for supported bus services is just over £1m and the £150,000, part of an underspend on concessionary bus fares, will offset savings agreed in the February budget.
