Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

MIDLAND RED's "Wandaward" bus system in rural areas around Hereford is to be extensively revised as a result of the local county council's policy of cutting back on bus subsidy.

Traffic problems and a shortage of maintenance staff have contributed to the NBC subsidiary's problems. New plans will give more frequent buses on busier routes, but may cause the withdrawal of many rural routes.

To date, adequate finance has not been provided for Midland Red to maintain all rural services, and the stage has been reached where Midland can no longer accept the losses being made on the network.
