Have your say on Orkney’s bus services

Ahead of the current contract coming to an end, Orkney Islands Council is running an online survey to seek feedback about Orkney’s bus services.

Bus contracts will go out to tender this year, with new contracts commencing in January 2015.

The survey is available here and closes on February 17.

It asks bus users about the routes they most often use, the times they usually travel, and whether their local service currently meets their needs –  and if they have any suggestions for how they’d change services they use.

OIC transport manager, Laura Cromarty, said: “It’s important folk let us know any improvements that they’d like us to consider, so we can report suggestions to the councillors for discussion, and eventually build the appropriate details into the new tenders.”
