Launch a more consistent bus service between Kirkliston and South Queensferry.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

We would like the government to launch a bus service that runs later than 6-7pm. Currently the last consistent bus service ends around this time, and should be extended to allow greater mobility between the two closely linked villages.

Currently, travel between Kirkliston and South Queensferry is very limited. The last consistent bus service ends at 6pm making it difficult for those working or seeing friends in the opposite village, leaving them hard-pressed to find a way home. Launching even an hourly service running later into the night would massively help those who are forced to walk home or fork out money for a taxi. Also, this would strengthen pre existing links between the two villages, lifting community spirit:

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about local bus services are a matter for the relevant bus operator and local authority, not the UK Government or Parliament.
