I can see them banning people from services who are not keyworkers within days

Don't forget some people need to use the bus to get to essential medical appointments. It's not always easy to know what impact a bus cut could have on these due to some community hospitals and clinics having specialists present only for a few hours per week. For instance I'm aware at Wilmslow Health Centre one clinic only runs on a Tuesday evening. If the 88 bus service does not run on a Tuesday evening then some patients may have to travel further to go to an alternative facility instead.
