I AM all for encouraging the use of public transport (Businfo Hotline, Evening Press, November 26).

Earlier this year, the evening bus service to Fulford was re-instated.

However, it has been beyond the council's power to have timetable information displayed on the bus-stops because, as I understand it, these are the property of Rider York.

The bus-stops with timetable display cases cannot be accessed by Arriva, the new service provider, and an excellent one too.

The cost of the Businfo service was not given, but it might have been better to buy back the bus-stops to display information where it is needed, and expected to be by passengers.
