New bus service needed


Petition to the County Council

Sign the petition at change.org

The proposed, though postponed, introduction of the bus filters assumes that everyone has access to bus routes. To the west of Woodstock Road, however, there is a bus desert. We have had no bus service since the 17 disappeared.

The much-missed No 17 service was withdrawn in 2016

Those who do not drive a car, who cannot afford (or find) a taxi, and cannot walk far or cycle safely (old, ill or disabled)  are trapped at home, unable to get to doctors and local shops independently. This applies to Cutteslowe, Sunnymead, Waterways, Waterside, Jericho and Botley which all spread out away from main roads. 

We desperately need a bus service now linking Cutteslowe, North Oxford, Summertown, West Oxford and Botley via Kingston Road and Walton Street and dipping into the areas off these roads. Such a route would go round Jericho then to the city centre shops and the railway station.  Secondary school children from these areas could also benefit from the proposed bus when walking to and from school is difficult. The route would also connect everyone in this half of the city to bus routes to the Headington hospitals by  changing buses in Summertown.

Oxfordshire County Council is discussing the Bus Service Improvement Plan on 25th February. Councillors and the Managing Director of Oxford Bus Company have indicated their approval if we can get enough support.
