Some have no services at all
Villages across Devon are being cut off from the rest of the county due to less bus services.
South Devon's Liberal Democrat MP Caroline Voaden gave a debate at the House of Commons that some areas had been left without a bus link from recent cuts.
She went on: “Over the summer recess I held surgeries in 52 towns and villages across my constituency and an issue that came up again and again and again was buses, or rather the lack of them.
“Many communities in my rural constituency are now effectively cut off. Some have just one or two buses a day, but others, such as Bigbury, St Ann’s Chapel and Ringmore, have no service at all.”
She said that since 2015 bus journeys in Devon had fallen by 40 per cent.
She paid tributes to the community bus schemes in South Devon such as Totnes-based Bob the Bus, the West Dart bus and the Coleridge bus, for tackling rural isolation.
Torbay Lib Dem MP, Steve Darling called for the £2 bus fare cap be returned, after being increased to £3 last year.
