Issue details

Update on the Provision of Subsidised Bus Services

Purpose of the report: The report will provide an analysis of a number of bus services across the city which have either been procured by the Council on an 'emergency' basis or which require re-tendering as their existing contracts are due to expire. The report will also consider a number of petitions received by the Council following the implementation of significant bus service changes by the First York bus company in October 2012.

The Cabinet Member will be requested to consider the value for money and scope of services currently being funded by the Council and will be asked to approve the services identified for procurement in early 2013. The Cabinet Member will also be requested to consider the possible course of action to be taken by the Council in response to petitions received following First York's bus service changes.
