The impact of Covid-19 meant that the UNIBUS service was suspended from the end of March 2020 for the remainder of the academic year. This resulted in a 14% reduction in passenger journeys for the year when compared to the previous year. Passenger satisfaction remained well above the 90% threshold standard for the period August 2019 to March 2020, when the evaluations were cancelled, reflecting the high quality service provided to passengers. For the period August 2019 to March 2020, the fuel used by the UNIBUS service increased by 4.5% as a result of increased bus services. The suspension of the UNIBUS service resulted in a 20% reduction in fuel use in 2019/20 compared to the previous year, producing a GHG saving of 86 tonnes CO2e.
