The recent YUSU and Unibus collaboration, ‘Clubber’s Bus’ has been forced to close down it’s Sunday service due to lack of student use.
Leaving at 2:00, 2:45 and 3:30am from outside Salvation and Tokyo on Rougier street, the bus is meant to help on-campus students get home safely after a night out.
However, the service which was started up this term has already been forced to close one of its days, so that it will now only run on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
YUSU, keen to promote the service, have been offering students paid work via Facebook as promotion representatives for the service, making students aware of the buses during nights out.
YUSU Welfare Officer Bob Hughes commented, “The service was slow to get off the ground at first, but quite a bit of promotion later, and I’m delighted to say that the service is now being used really well on the Tuesday and Thursday nights, but less so on the Sunday.”
The ‘Clubbers’ Bus, which only charges £1 will be continuing into the new term.
