| 摘要： | The Omicron variant of Covid continued to ravage bus services throughout January, with passenger numbers dropping back from a weekday high of 81% in December to just 70%. Concessionary trips remain lower still, with a figure of 60% being reported for the Greater Manchester area. The lack of drivers, a mixture of illness and self-isolation combined with recruitment difficulties, is still causing unplanned cancellations, as well as service reductions in some areas. First West of England introduced a mix of temporary and permanent changes at the end of January, including reducing some Weston-super-Mare local services to every two hours. It is also cutting the longstanding Bath to Salisbury service at Warminster, with Wiltshire Council funding a replacement service on to Salisbury. Yellow Buses is running a Saturday-based timetable on all but tendered routes, and has suspended night services. Reading has reduced frequencies on some routes aimed at business parks and park-&-ride sites Emphasising how local conditions can affect bus use, Arriva revealed to a meeting of Central Bedfordshire Council that the exclusion of buses from Leighton Buzzard High Street, to create more space for pedestrians, had reduced patronage on town services to just 35-39% of normal, about half the figure of interurban routes passing through the town. Arriva says the three routes - 32, 34 and D1 - are now liable to be withdrawn during the spring. |
