Strong public response to Central Buchan A2B bus survey

Aberdeenshire Council received 256 responses to its recent survey on the future of local bus services.

The results show:
▪️62% want the current A2B on-demand service to continue
▪️38% prefer a fixed-route, timetabled service

Most respondents felt the on-demand service better meets their daily needs.
A hybrid model was suggested but has been ruled out due to cost and complexity.
