- It is good that they listened to us because it was a horrible proposal, says Per Svensson (S), chairman of the municipal board in Falkenberg.

But it does not stop there.

According to Hallandstrafiken's chairman, Gösta Bergenheim, there are further reasons to back off.

- On the one hand, our economy looks so good that we can have some ice in our stomachs.

Given the uncertainty about how the need for travel will change after the pandemic, it also feels reasonable to wait, he says.

The proposal to reduce bus trips in the county was a way to save six million kronor.

- It can be picked up again if we have low travel in the long term, says Gösta Bergenheim.
