Have Your Say on South Fife Bus Services

We want to hear from you! We’re asking residents of South Fife to share their thoughts on the local bus services. Your feedback will help shape the future of these services. When? The consultation runs from Monday, 19 May to Sunday, 6 July 2025. Why? Your comments will be considered when we renew contracts for subsidised bus routes in August 2026. Which services? The bus routes currently supported or partly supported in South Fife include: 1, 1A, 2, 2A, 4B, 4C, 6, 6A, 7D, 8A, 17A, 17B, 18B, 20, 28, 31, 31A, 31B, 33, 33A, 83, 84, 87, 88, 88A, 89, 89A, 89B. What do we need? We want to know where you go by bus and when you prefer to travel. On-bus surveys will be conducted and passenger movements will be analysed using ticket machine data. How to take part? Pick up a questionnaire at Dunfermline, Glenrothes, and Kirkcaldy Bus Stations, complete it online at www.fife.gov.uk/bussurvey, or call 03451 55 55 55 ext 474410 to request a paper copy. Cllr Altany Craik, council spokesperson for finance, economy, and strategic planning, said: "With over two million bus journeys made in Fife each year on council-supported routes, it's important we regularly review these services to ensure they meet the community's needs. "Many residents depend on these buses for work, education, health appointments, and accessing shopping and leisure facilities. I urge everyone to share their views by completing the survey. It's vital that we hear from both bus users and non-users to ensure we provide services that people truly need and that offer good value for money."
