This is the fastest bus to uwe from the center. Otherwise i have to waste an hour in a bus to reach there. Just make it every hour or even two hours. But do not stop it

As a PG student living in Hanham I have already suffered prolonged journey time to UWE after the No 16 bus was withdrawn at the end of April. I have to travel to Bristol and take UWE from there. Now that the UWE has been stopped as well, there is no public transport that would get me to UWE under 2 hours. Truly disturbing!

This is going to severely affect my daily commute. I relied on this bus and its convenience. My travel time has now tripled. Unacceptable.

Withrawing the service without any warning is just unacceptable! It should be introduced again and its route should be changed. If it ran via Stoke Lane it would definitely pick up many more passengers!

I use this bus to get to and from work, the express service enables me to do both my full time work and my work representing my community. It has enabled me to get to meetings that would have been otherwise impossible. I have a bus pass. Without this service running at all I have limited options. The reduced service was hard enough, but cancelled!

I'm an employee at UWE and have no alternative method of transportation - this has significant impact on my daily life.

Limited Service not a full service cut.

This bus ran last summer and that persuaded me to use this service from Wessex. First have now pushed Wessex out of the routes to UWE by flooding the market and now are withdrawing service. I now have to take the unreliable 72 to and from working putting up too an extra 2 hours on my commute. A lot of staff from UWE use this. If you cant provide a decent service then the university shouldn't let you use the name 'UWE' as it is embarrassing. I agree with Melvin, a limited service would be so much better in a social economic respect then a greedy shorted sighted commercial action.

If the demand is lower, just run a more limited service, or single deckers. Don't just discontinue them entirely, that's very short sighted and inconvenient.

I work in the business park opposite uwe and relied on this service. My new commute takes over an hour per day longer, which is just not acceptable.

I relied on this bus most days! I work at the airport and have to commute from the UWE area and now after a 10 hour shift finishing at 9pm it takes me until almost 11pm to get home because I have to use a number of different buses to get back. This bus made a quick commute and was very useful to a number of people, there is still demand for the bus yet first want to ignore that!

Took an hour and a half door to door this morning after I got up half an hour earlier than normal and I was still 20 mins late for work. If this is how it's going to be, I'll have to start using the train.
