WHAT fantastic news that Yate commuters are set to have a new improved service to and from Bristol.

In an ideal world, getting to and from work shouldn’t add to people’s stress levels, or cut into the limited free time afforded by the working week.

But at present, the First Bus service offered to commuters between Yate and Bristol does both of these things. 

Waiting around at a bus stop when your time could be better spent at home, or out and about, doing something you want to do, is frustrating. 

Even worse is if the bus, when it comes, has no room on it for you. 

How excellent to hear that First Bus have listened to these concerns, put to them by Yate Town Council, and are prepared to come up with a solution.

Having a frequent and reliable service will have a positive knock on effect on the traffic volume in and around the town too. 

Well done to all those involved in the Let’s Get Yate Moving campaign.
