PCC £250K per annum, Milton Keynes around £3.5M per annum, Bristol around £3M. Cornwall was spending £4M although this will have reduced this year. Going to the far extreme London spends £600M on bus subsidy alone and if you pro rata this for Plymouth a comparable figure would be £19M. Although this would never happen what a bus service Plymouth could have for that amount of monay!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11828686.post-51117488006378839282011-05-06T00:43:49.900+01:002011-05-06T00:43:49.900+01:00It still doesnt help residents of Ernesettle acces...It still doesnt help residents of Ernesettle access Devonport, Whitleigh and Derriford Hospital without the need for several bus changes.

Would it not be cheaper for the council to pay First or Ciybus to divert an existing route. For example one 15 an hour could divert into Hartley Vale to replace Target 39..or perhaps the funding could fund an additional 15 per hour along the whole route which could dvert into Hartley Vale..this would be more used i am sure and offer a better return for the councils money than the completely under used Target service!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11828686.post-89377929728159233982011-05-05T07:55:33.240+01:002011-05-05T07:55:33.240+01:00What's the betting that this service will last...What's the betting that this service will last no longer than six months after which it will be pulled or Target will be seeking a subsidy to continue operating.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
