FirstBus angers passengers

Passengers have voiced their anger at unreliable FirstBus services in Bristol, with one person describing it as ‘a cancer’ on the region.

The passengers were addressing a council meeting held by the West of England Combined Authority (WECA) on Thursday 17th November.

Last week, FirstBus announced the ‘temporary’ cancellation of 1,450 bus journeys per week across the city.

The company said it was desperately short of drivers and this had resulted in it struggling to meet its own timetables.
