Council says bus journeys on the rise

Lincolnshire County Council say bus travel is on the rise, though it’s not clear if it is the in South Holland.

The authority says that Bus Improvement Plan has led to 150,000 more passengers in the county.
It highlights how the figures have increased in Gainsborough, Skegness, Grantham, Stamford, Sleaford, Mablethorpe, Boston and Lincoln, but doesn’t mention anywhere in South Holland.
Coun Richard Davies, executive member for Transport at LCC said: “These passenger numbers are terrific and show just how successful our work with local bus providers has been so far with 150,000 additional passengers confirmed to have travelled in the county.
“We have worked closely with local bus companies, using funding for the Bus Service Improvement Plan to increase the right services in the right areas and even bring some older, discontinued services back.
“As soon as we started this work, we saw people returning to bus use right across Lincolnshire on the improved services. Because of that support from local communities, we were encouraged to continue our work further with more funding, and the results are speaking for themselves.
“I’d like to thank everyone who has used the services.”
