Bus forum
Bus forums are held to let interested groups and passengers discuss local bus services. We want to hear from you and let you know what is happening to Aberdeenshire bus services.
The objectives of the forums are to:
- Discuss and review council funded and commercial local bus services
- Provide the community with updates on service development
- Understand the community’s public transport needs
- Allow informed public scrutiny of existing and proposed service provision
- Consult on public transport policies and proposals
Please don't use the forum for queries about operational issues on a specific bus service or issues with bus infrastructure (bus stops, shelters). You should contact the operator or Passenger Transport Unit at the time of the issue, so the appropriate action can be taken.
