Have your say on South Gloucestershire Council bus services We want to know what is most important to you so we can make sure that funding is spent on the services you value the most We currently support a wide range of bus services. This includes services which are entirely funded by the council and others which are commercial services that receive top-up funding for part of the service, for instance evenings or bank holidays.. We currently support 32 bus services (correct as of June 2017), in areas where there would otherwise be no service or a more limited route/timetable. How will your feedback change what we do? It will enable us to better understand what your priorities are for public transport and help us to review our supported bus services in terms of meeting these priorities. The information will also form part of a wider Bus Strategy which will be developed as part of the West of England Combined Authority later in the year.
