Regarding the buses and poor response by those who are supposed to provide a service for all people and get paid to do so, I am finding it very hard to understand why, and how, it is necessary to change the bus routes by those who don’t use them and have their own transport.

What is the use of bus passes if you cannot use them if the buses are four minutes early?

For example, where I live the bus we usually catch is the 9am bus to the town, but now the changes mean it will be early, four minutes before that, so we are not able to use that bus with our bus passes.

Whoever made the changes, surely hasn’t thought this out. Many of us are either pensioners or disabled and wanting that bus.

Also, the connections on the 352 to Chelmsford from Halstead have annoyed many people, but are they taken notice of by those who sit in cosy offices and have their own transport to get to work and not considered the public?

Why and what is their reasoning for changing the buses? Why have they not realised we have a voice to speak out to show our dissatisfaction, yet have not been able to?
