Image caption, Passengers line up in Callington after waiting for the bus to LauncestonPassengers say they are angry and confused at changes to some bus routes in Cornwall. One of the routes used to be a direct service from Bude to Plymouth.

At each stop passengers have to pay the capped rate of £3 - making a total of £9 to get to Plymouth.
