Passenger numbers 'stubbornly low'

Public transport in Lincolnshire won’t be expanding for another two years, council bosses have said, as “stubbornly low” passenger numbers “plateau”.

Hilton told councillors that declining passenger numbers had been “further exacerbated” by COVID and remained “stubbornly low” with around 70%. “We’re not going to be in a position to look at expanding in any way, for at least I would suggest another two years.” “Those people have found alternative ways of travelling, of meeting their kind of everyday needs, such as having a higher reliance on delivery or family members and friends and neighbours taking them to and from particular appointments or responsibilities.”
