As a protest is held in Sheffield, bus operators insist they have no option but to reduce services.

A protest has been held in Sheffield against cuts to the region's bus services.

Explaining his choice of costume, Mr Teasdale said: "The bus is fighting back against the cuts the reaper is trying to make. "People move here to be connected to the wider areas of Yorkshire, and this is ending a major part of our connections." Ms Frost, 75, added: "My Covid jab is due soon. I can't make an appointment because I don't know what's happening with the buses."She said: "I cannot tell you how frustrated and angry I am with Arriva and First."It cannot be right that they will cherry pick the great routes that give them a profit and we as a combined authority, basically the public, have to pay for the routes that they don't want.

"Despite Government funding, this combination of revenue and operational pressure means that certain routes remain unsustainable in their current form. That's why, working in partnership with the combined authority, we have carried out a sustainability review of our timetable to make sure it reflects current levels of demand."
