Ian Morris, the council's cabinet member for transport, said: "We've got to save an enormous amount of money and have had to make some unpalatable decisions.
"We realise by removing bus subsidies and some bus routes, that is going to have an effect on people, but we're working hard with our districts and boroughs and parishes.
"Quite a few bus routes have had a reduced service put back in or are going to have one put back in."
