The 154 bus service is vital for people who work in Wolverhampton or who need to get to the city to use another bus. Without it, passengers in the likes of Hednesford and Featherstone will be cut off and people will be out of pocket as an alternative Arriva service costs more. In addition, some passengers will require two or more journeys or use passes for different companies. National Express cites i54 not subsidising the route. However, this bus is busy most days, with many people having to stand, and so could run as a viable service.
