HITRANS, the regional transport partnership for the Highlands and Islands, is drawing up an action plan in a bid to halt the sharp decline in the use of bus services in rural and island communities, which has been heightened by the impacts of Covid-19.
The partnership wants more funding from the Scottish Government to be targeted on sustaining rural and island bus services and believes that lessons can be learned from the pandemic to tailor future services more closely to the needs of local communities, with major input from community transport groups.

Highland Council said it has been made aware of the problem and appropriate enforcement action will be taken against offenders who have been identified.
