    Run AND PROPERLY PUBLICISE evening transport services. The last bus and train from central (i.e. where there are cultural events and restaurants etc) Perth to Highland Perthshire is about 8pm. The pre-Covid "experimental" service was not advertised, and the last bus was cancelled at no notice on the fourth or fifth week leaving folk stranded in Perth City Centre. Hardly breeds confidence and a client base

    There is a need for Social work and/or police presence at the bus station to prevent the allegedly "Homeless" harassing folk waiting for late busses
