Document summary

Bus services are vitally important to older people, yet many commercial services do not respond to the needs of older people while public spending cuts mean non-commercial services are under significant threat. This report draws on the views and experiences of more than 300 people aged 60 and over, supplemented by findings from other research, to paint a vivid picture of the importance of bus services to older passengers.
