This year we will be removing open top buses from our network in Cornwall and instead replacing them with covered double deckers. This means the buses will be able to run in all weathers, as well as continuing to serve the local communities who also use them in Cornwall.
“We know the open top buses are well loved and this isn’t any easy decision, but we can’t afford to retain more vehicles than needed if the revenue doesn’t cover their costs. Unfortunately, a significant reduction in Cornish tourism last year, added to falling passenger demand and rising cost, has made running these open top buses commercially unviable.
“We are committed to providing bus and coach services to residents and visitors in Cornwall and we are proud of our longstanding history in the county. Plans for our bi-annual network change in April are currently being finalised with Cornwall Council, and we will announce details of all routes in March.
