Last year, our local doctor's surgery was closed. Now, Stagecoach plans to cancel bus services 16 and 39 between Dundee and Perth - a critical link for the vulnerable elderly people in our community. This is more than an inconvenience; it's an outrage that further isolates those who need support most.

These bus services are not just transport routes; they are lifelines for many older residents who rely on them to attend medical appointments across the city. Without these services, their access to healthcare is severely compromised.

According to Age UK, nearly half of all older people (around five million) consider television or pets as their main form of company. With the cancellation of these vital bus routes, we risk exacerbating this loneliness epidemic among our elderly population.

We cannot stand by while decisions made by corporations like Stagecoach strip away essential services from those who need them most in our society. We demand that Stagecoach reconsider their decision and maintain the operation of bus services 16 and 39 between Dundee and Perth.

Please sign this petition today to ensure that our elderly neighbours continue to have access to essential transportation for their healthcare needs.
