• Accessibility

In the 2015-16 academic year, this service ran regularly. It has been cancelled for 2016-17 and I know a considerable number of students who this has negatively affected (those who are coming/going not just from Yate, but from other areas on its route).

Bus routes to Frenchay are currently overwhelmingly urban; they come to & from the centre of Bristol (which does make sense). The number of services from more rural areas, however, is currently too low to provide an effective service for many students who live locally but not within walking or cycling distance.

Actions Taken

  • This idea opened on 30 Nov 2016 and closes for voting on 21 Dec 2016.
  • Not enough students have voted on this Idea. This Idea has failed.
  • The Executive agreed to give this Idea a conditional pass and Student Council subsequently agreed to pass the Idea. This Idea is now Students’ Union policy and has been sent to The Executive for work to begin.

  • At the time of writing (May 2022) there is one bus that goes from between UWE and Yate - 680.
