Consultation on proposed fare increase for routes 55 and 59

Routes 55 (Old Basing) and 59 (Whitchurch and Overton) are council-supported community bus services that provide important connections to local facilities and services.

As part of ongoing work to ensure these services remain viable, we are consulting on options for the Route 55 fare, including a possible increase.

We would like to understand your views on these options and any potential impacts.

The consultation will be open until 13 July 2026.

Your feedback will help inform our decision-making:

A summary of responses will be published on our consultation’s webpage.
