The bus company La Unión, which manages the line between Vitoria and Bilbao , will abolish eight tripsfrom December 1 due to low demand.

Specifically, four reinforcements will be withdrawn on the line from Vitoria-Gasteiz to Bilbao (05:50, 06:45, 13:30 and 15:30) and four more from Bilbao to Vitoria-Gasteiz (06:30, 07:45, 09:30 and 13:30) .

These changes will only affect buses that do not exceed an alternative and "minimum occupancy" within 30 minutes.

La Unión has explained that theoffer must be "adjusted to the demand" of the Basques  and that, according to the company, each reinforcement is usually filled with an additional outsourced driver.

The bus company says that this line "does not receive any public subsidy", so the schedule was adjusted by "an exercise in public service responsibility", so ere, those buses need a minimum occupancy to be "economically sustainable" .
