Four of these changes take effect this autumn, while one route is being adjusted to a summer schedule. No changes are planned for twenty other routes. The modifications aim to keep operating costs within budget. Route 73, which runs through southern regions, is being discontinued due to low usage, with only 773 passengers recorded in 2025. Other routes have seen higher usage compared to certain other routes. Route 50 will see reduced service frequency from twelve to ten
