Bus subsidies in Norfolk have been slashed by a third since 2010 and campaigners warn of further cuts to come.
Norfolk County Council has reduced its financial support by £1.33m over the last six years and the Campaign for Better Transport says tight budgets mean more cuts are in the pipeline.
Research by BBC Sunday Politics East shows £13m has been cut from bus services across the BBC East region, where spending has dropped by 10% to £3.64 per passenger.
The Bus Bill, currently going through Parliament, will give local councils more of a say in bus services – allowing collaboration with private companies and franchising opportunities.
But some of the new powers would only be granted to councils with elected mayors.
Lianna Etkind, of the Campaign for Better Transport, external, was against that proviso.
“We think that whether or not you have an elected mayor, you should be able to depend on a regular, frequent and affordable bus service,” she said.
