COMMUTERS were yesterday given the opportunity to air their views about services - on board a bus.

The bus was parked for four hours at a junction near Middlesbrough town centre.

Representatives from bus operators Arriva and Stagecoach and from Middlesbrough Council's transport and policy section were on hand to answer questions and provide information.

Councillor Ron Lowes, executive member for the environment, said: "Public transport provision in Middlesbrough is very important to our residents and this event offers an excellent opportunity for issues to be raised.

"I anticipate that both the bus operators, in terms of the service they provide, and the council, in terms of the role of our highway network in supporting them, will both benefit from this event."
