The results showed that 71.1% of those questioned wanted cheaper public transport while almost 40% said they did not feel safe while travelling on buses.
60% of the young people questioned backed the idea of a discount scheme for transport similar to the exisiting Passport to Leisure Scheme. 68% said more reliable buses would encourage them to use public transport more while 66% wanted to see improved safety in bus stations and at bus stops.
