Cabinet will vote next week on whether to raise termly bus pass for post16 students to £50 and to have a further consultation on all home to school transport.
The Isle of Wight Bus and Rail Users' Group say the proposed package of proposed cuts to services and concessions amounts to the most serious and possibly irreversible damage to public transport on the Island seen for decades.
It's becoming apparent that the council are being placed in an impossible position by the government. The spectre of all Discretionary services being cut is being discussed.
Members agreed to a Labour amendment in the budget review paper at Wednesday night's council meeting that will ensure alternatives to potential cuts to services are considered first.
The Labour councillors say investing some of the expected £20m windfall from ASDA to help save services is a 'no-brainer' and will call on fellow councillors to agree their motion at Wednesday evening's full council meeting.
