Crosville is taking the cuts hilosophically, and it believes lat it can benefit by providing le travelling public with the est value for money on indiidual routes.
It has already warned that the 3duction could cause less freuent services in the county, 50 )bs could be lost, and a depot hay be forced to close.
The County Council's policy, Mich is expected to be ratified y the end of March, divides Iwyd bus services into three ategories.
The first includes trunk routes between urban areas which the Council expects to be selfsupporting. These are at present all operated by Crosville.
The second encompasses leisure and shopping routes which the Council hope will go to operators providing the best value for money.
The Council will also encourage operators normally providing school transport only to run also between the beginning and end of the school day hours on a marginal cost basis. Out of 300 school contracts in Clwyd, Crosville operates only eight.
The third category involves rural services, including unconventional services. Here too the Council will look jor the best value for money —Clywd has 12 private stage-carriage operators in addition to Crosville.
