Buses coming into and leaving Liverpool are set for big changes with nearly half of all city centre routes to be overhauled.
The plans have today been announced by Merseytravel, which says around 11,000 passengers a day will be affected by the move, set to come into force from January.
But passengers will have the chance to give their views, with a consultation starting on Tuesday and set to last until August.
According to the Liverpool City Region combined authority's transport body, it's happening in tandem with the council's £45m Liverpool City Centre Connectivity Scheme - and could see passengers forced to walk further distances to get to their daily destinations.
The scheme will eventually see changes to major roads in the city, including pedestrianisation schemes on Lime Street and the Strand.
In total, 31 of the 67 services into the city centre will see their routes altered.
Councillor Liam Robinson, chair of the city region’s transport committee, said the scheme is attempting to make the city cleaner, greener and more attractive.
He said: "To achieve this, there has to be changes to how traffic moves around, including buses.
