Firsts transports number 4 bus service has once again come under fire from students.
Not only are students still outraged at the scrapping of the service between the two campuses, but First have continued to advertise discounted University season tickets on their website as including drop-offs at Heslington East.
YUSU President Kallum Taylor said: “If any students have bought any type of multi-journey or season-long bus ticket with First, on the assumption that they’ll be covering Heslington East (as their website suggested up to October 7th) then please get in touch. The tickets they advertised are valid only after October 8th, which is of course the day after First scrapped their route.”
It’s rumoured that some Colleges and societies may be planning events centred around the number 4 bus boycott. To date 184 people have liked the facebook protest page, encouraging students to boycott the service between the city centre and Hes West.
A First spokesman said: “We are keen to talk to the Student’s Union to address their concerns about the recent service changes. We are also in the process of updating our website and will have these changes in place as soon as possible.”
