Just not fare: Commuters demand major changes to Inverness bus services
ANGRY commuters have called for a complete overhaul of bus services in Inverness, with Stagecoach accused of putting profits ahead of customer needs.
Passengers blasted the bus giant during a consultation event held to gather feedback on proposed timetable changes.
According to most, the problems go far beyond service timings.
Inverness South Councillor Duncan Macpherson said: “I regularly attend community council meetings and problems on buses are a major issue.
“I’ve been inundated with complaints about breakdowns, buses being late or not turning up at all and people having to use taxis to get to work."
He added: “I understand there have been emergency meetings of Stagecoach directors because they recognise there are major issues concerning the service.”
A Stagecoach spokeswoman denied there had been any “emergency meetings” and added the company was “delighted” with the feedback it received during the consultation and aware of some "frustrations".
