Preserve Our Community Bus Service in Dundee


Preserve Our Community Bus Service in Dundee
The Issue
We are residents of a small community in Dundee, where our only means of travel connecting us to local areas is the bus. This service is not just transportation; it's a lifeline that connects us to essential services and amenities like shops, town centres, and doctor's surgeries. It makes life easier for families with pushchairs and pensioners with zimmers who would otherwise have to walk long distances.
The bus route we rely on serves Mill o mains and other linkages, making it indispensable for our daily lives. However, this vital service is under threat. The loss of this bus would significantly impact our community members' ability to access necessary services and maintain social connections.
According to Transport Scotland statistics from 2019, approximately 21% of households in Scotland do not have access to a car or van (source: Transport Scotland). In communities like ours where public transport options are limited, the importance of maintaining existing services cannot be overstated.
We urge the relevant authorities - local councilors, transport bodies - anyone who can influence this decision - please help us preserve our community bus service. Your support will ensure that we continue living connected lives without unnecessary hardship.
Please sign this petition if you believe in preserving essential public transport links for communities like ours.
