A new community bus service is being given a three-month trial in the Lower Deeside area of Aberdeen.
The service will operate every Monday and Thursday from 10.30am until 2pm .There is no restriction on journey route within Peterculter, Milltimber, Bieldside, Cults, Garthdee and the city centre.
New users will be required to complete a membership form when they first travel on the community bus service. No photograph is required and there is no charge to join.
Aberdeen City Council’s Public Transport Services Officer Iain Mason said: “This new bus service could be a great benefit to elderly and disabled people in the Lower Deeside area who struggle to use the conventional bus services and will go some way to replacing the service 93 which had to be withdrawn when funding for the service ran out.”
Fares for the new service are: £3.50 single (£4 for single plus carer); £5 return (£5.50 for return plus carer); and £20 for a multi-journey ticket which is for 10 pre-paid journeys.
