Pulling the services out of areas is the last thing First want to do. The company are now considering refusing to run a service along the road after 6pm in the evening due to the prolong and pointless attacks. If the company goes ahead with the move on the grounds of customer safety This will put a lot of residents in limbo especially those who rely on public transport. At the time of the evening tea time.
