RE: North West Bus Service Changes due to Coronavirus outbreak
To be fair, most areas are only on Saturday times. For most routes, the difference between Mon-Fri and Saturday timetables is minimal. Resources would be much better spent on having standby drivers strategically placed to cover overcrowding.

It's also worth mentioning that even in December, bus use was only at 60% of pre Covid levels and it took 5 months to build up to that. I think it would be silly to introduce 100% if it turns out that people will return to buses very slowly. The best way I think is to keep Saturday enhanced with stategic spares until we get a proper look at how quickly people return to buses.
