Issue - meetings

Martin Arnold reported he had not received a response from McGills regarding the request to introduce a reduced fare on the Dunoon Ferry Terminal to Hunter’s Quay along Alexandra Parade route. Martin would continue to chase McGills and report back to the Forum when an update was forthcoming

Outcome

To consider Alexandra Parade Bus at the next meeting of the Cowal Transport Forum.

Martin Arnold provided the following update:

Emails have repeatedly been sent to McGill’s commercial and marketing personnel regards the possibility of a reduced fare on the route from Dunoon Ferry Terminal to Hunter’s Quay along Alexandra Parade. Current fare is circa £5.90 – essentially the fare to Gourock minus the ferry ticket cost. Thus far they have seemed receptive to the idea of a reduced ‘local service’ fare although have had no feedback yet on if and when that will actually be introduced. Public Transport will continue to chase this and update the forum when more information is available.
