Summary
Today (3 November 2022) marks the start of a nine-week consultation on the future
for bus services in Surrey. The consultation is seeking residents’ views on three areas:
Investing in cleaner, greener buses – to help reduce the 41% of carbon emissions
generated by transport
Introducing more on-demand services – shared, door-to-door bus services in rural
areas that are available when needed, using a booking service
Changing some bus services – reducing a very small amount of bus services. This is
because people are using buses less and they are also more expensive to run. Before the
COVID-19 pandemic, 27 million passenger trips were made each year on Surrey buses.
Trips have since reduced to 18 million.
An online survey is available at www.surreycc.gov.uk/futurebusreview. Paper copies
of the survey will also be available at Surrey Libraries, at Surrey County Council offices in
Reigate, Leatherhead and Woking, on buses and on request by calling Surrey County
Council on 03456 009 009.
The consultation will run from 3 November to 6 January 2023.
