Proposed changes to local bus services

The second consultation on Surrey County Council’s local transport review was launched this morning, giving residents and stakeholders until 8 June to have their say on proposed changes to local bus services.

Surrey County Council has worked with bus operators to negotiate better contracts that will give the council better value for money. However, to make the required savings needed from the review, the council is now proposing some changes to local bus services, and wants to hear residents’ and stakeholders’ views in a second consultation.

How to have your say

  • By completing the paper questionnaire, available in libraries, local

council offices and on buses in all areas of Surrey and neighbouring

counties where there are proposed changes to bus services.

  • By phoning 0300 200 1003 (SMS: 07527 182 861) to request a copy of

the questionnaire sent straight to your door.

  • In person at a public event – find out more at

  • Or by writing to: Local Transport Review, Room 365, County Hall,

Kingston Upon Thames KT1 2DN

Please note: In the first consultation we undertook a review of the two extra concessions that the council funds for some concessionary pass holders (free travel for disabled pass holders before 9.30am or after 11.00pm and free companion passes). The feedback was that these extra benefits are greatly valued, and as a result we are now not proposing to change these concessions.
