flag UK introduces legislation to protect essential bus routes, especially in rural areas.

flag The UK government has introduced legislation to protect vital bus routes in England from sudden cuts. flag Councils must now impose strict requirements before changing or cancelling "socially necessary" routes, such as those serving hospitals and schools. flag This move is part of the Government's Bus Services Bill, which grants local authorities new powers to manage bus services, including setting routes, timetables, and fares. flag The bill aims to safeguard essential transport links, particularly in rural areas, where bus services have significantly declined, with over a quarter of routes lost in the past decade.
