As there is little evidence of use, continuation of this facility has to be considered doubtful. \u00b7 Early morning and later evening journeys would appear to be little used (with a maximum of 4 passengers recorded on the first two and last two journeys of the day). Continuation of these facilities may be unsustainable. \u00b7 Although their importance to the communities they serve is appreciated, some changes to services 94 and 95 (for example reduction in frequency and\/or combination with other routes) may be necessary, particularly if tender prices for these routes increase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Oxford county council are undertaking a review of the current bus service in the area and all opinions are greatly welcomed.
