Bus services, like the V2 Villager in Egginton, are often withdrawn due to low passenger numbers. Transport operators need to make routes financially viable, and if not enough people are using a service, it becomes unsustainable. This can leave communities feeling isolated, highlighting the balance between economic realities and public need.
