Skånetrafiken: Fewer buses evenings and weekends
Now the new timetables are ready. In Kristianstad municipality both town and regional buses will be affected (see Facts).
In the town, night traffic and departures on weekday evenings will be withdrawn.
– What we’ve looked at is departures with very few passengers, so that not so many people will be affected, says Carina Zachau (M), chairman of Region Skåne’s collective traffic committee.
How long will the new timetable apply?
– We hope it can apply until the next time we change the timetables, in December, says Carina Zachau.
