Later buses from Newton Abbot/ Exeter to Bovey Tracey

The Issue

The last bus from Newton Abbot to Bovey tracey is 20:00. The last bus from Exeter to Bovey Tracey is 18:50.

This leaves very little time for people who don't drive and who work full time to socialise in their nearest decent sized town and also in places such as Torquay with connecting buses. This needs to be addressed and simply isn't an acceptable time for a last bus, especially now the summer is approaching and the days are longer.

We understand you need to keep costs to a minimum, but how about making smaller capacity trips (not empty double deckers) but more often? Very often, the non-commuter buses are not even up to half capacity, sometimes I have been the only person travelling on a route. If we decrease bus sizes and therefore fuel consumption we can make room for later buses back to towns that are at the moment unreachable by public transport after 8pm.

For all those who share this annoyance with me, please sign up and share this link!

Thanks!
