BUSES between Upton-Upon-Severn and Tunnel Hill are being offered at a reduced rate by the bus provider as part of a trial.
The trial sees First Bus offering a £1 adult single and a 50p child single (both each way) on services between Upton and Tunnel Hill and it is hoped that this will keep regular services running.
The trial will run until February 17, next year and the fares will continue if there is sufficient demand.
Buses in Upton have been struggling for some time, with councillors on both the town and district councils warning of a "use it or lose it" scenario.
In 2018, bus services to rural areas of the county were given a reprieve after meetings between district councillor Tom Wells and the managing director of First Buses, Nigel Eggleton.
The 363 Upton to Worcester bus was saved after changes were made to its timetable meaning it would operate at more urgent times of the day.
