 Trams are proving more popular than buses on certain routes |
Passengers have said they will miss their bus service between Hucknall and Nottingham which has been scrapped due to the popularity of the tram. They say the end of the number 45 and Hucknall Flyer, which were direct routes, will mean longer journeys.
Trent Barton, which ran the services, has pledged to run buses connecting Hucknall estates with the tram station.
The city's tram service has been running on one line for nine months and there are plans for an extension.
Dave Thornhill from the environmental travel group Transport 2000 said: "When the tram was introduced there were different approaches between the Trent Barton company and Nottingham City Transport.
"In the Bulwell area for example, Nottingham City Transport decided on day one to withdraw services and to provide links into the tram."
But passengers say the bus offers a more local service for their needs.
One woman told BBC News: "It's about 50 minutes on the bus, which is quite a long time but it is just the one bus and it stops near our home and gets us right into the centre of Nottingham."
