For the rural link example that I gave, that service is up and running. However, there should be the flexibility to be able to change stops if it is better to have a stop at another location. Rather than having to go through the whole process of licensing new stops, there should be a way to adapt them.

The other gripe I have is that while many people with disabilities have free travel, they have to pay a fee if they want to book a seat. It is wrong that they have to pay a fee or they are not guaranteed to get a seat on the bus. Can that change?
