Interesting news today, all bus travel within the county of Herefordshire will be free on weekends, with additional Sunday services introduced too.

QuoteALL bus travel within Herefordshire will be free on weekends from now on, Herefordshire Council has pledged.

Thanks to investment as part of the £6 million Covid-19 recovery fund, anybody will be able to hop on and off any bus in the county, as many times as they like, without paying a penny.

The only condition is that the journey must be entirely within the county.

To help people make the most of the scheme, there will also be additional services on Sundays, serving several locations including Bromyard, Ledbury, Leominster, Kington and Colwall.

Judging  by reports from elsewhere and  the crowds in Chester yesterday the one day a boost is not needed is Saturday.
.
Surely this funding was meant to disuade operators from withdrawing socially necessary services on the grounds of low usage.
