Social Democrats in Säter propose app-controlled bus service

The Social Democrats in Säter propose introducing app-controlled bus service in the municipality, inspired by a system in Värmland. Passengers would book buses on demand instead of following fixed timetables. The model has proven successful in Säffle and Grums.
