EYMS – Hull Bus Forum – 28 January 2009
Tuesday, January 20th, 2009
All are welcome at the next Hull Bus Forum, which will be held on Wednesday 28 January at 12 noon at the Guildhall, Room C1, Alfred Gelder Street. There is disabled access.
The forums have been held regularly for nearly 10 years, and give passengers an opportunity to meet bus operators and representatives of the Council to air their views and improve the quality of the local bus network.
The Forum is chaired independently by City of Hull Environmental Forum, a charity specialising in public transport issues. Bus operators benefit from feedback, whilst it helps the City Council obtain a strategic view of services in the area. The Forum is also a useful means of updating the public on developments.
