Fares for night services will remain unchanged.
Bailie Warren said that the transport department were heading for disaster with an estimated loss in the current year of more than £1.25m. The accumulated deficit at the end of this financial year had been estimated at around £2m when last year's loss of £700,000 was included.
Clk. James F. Reilly, claimed that an extra £250,000 a year could be gained if buses could be speeded up through the city centre by as little as one mph.
