YOUNG people across Barnsley are being urged to have their say on how buses are run across the region following an in-person consultation event in the town centre on Wednesday.
A major consultation into plans to take buses in South Yorkshire back under public control has now officially hit the halfway point.
So far more than 4,000 people have responded to the consultation but the town’s young people are being urged to make their voices heard.
Chief executive of South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA), Martin Swales OBE, said: “Young people have a lot at stake when it comes to having their say on how we run our buses, so it’s vital that we hear what they think about the proposals to bring bus services back under public control through bus franchising.
“It’s so important that as many people as possible respond to the consultation, so we can decide the best way forward to a better-connected region that works for everyone who lives and works here.”
The 12-week consultation is running until Wednesday January 15.
