First Bus Network Proposals
A ongoing consultation on the proposed changes to frequency and change of routes in and around Aberdeen City.
There are currently negotiations taking place between Aberdeen City Council and First Bus to preserve the most important community connection routes, and on the future of the company.
There is also ongoing support and contribution from Aberdeen Civic Forum to this process, putting forward the concerns and priorities of communities.
We’d also like to thank First-Bus and Stagecoach Buses for their ongoing engagement and consultation with communities across Aberdeen.
If you have experience of public transport or have a view for how important routes can be retained, we very much encourage you to get in contact with us here at:
