BUS users are being asked to have their say over timetable changes set to come into operation in July.
Some routes are due to be altered as Stagecoach East Scotland look to make "significant changes" in the city to cater for the opening of the Dunfermline Learning Campus this summer.
A statement from the bus company explained: "For the schools returning on August 19, a number of the local bus services we run on behalf of Fife Council are changing, including school services.
"To coincide with these changes, we’ll be revising some of our commercially operated services to tie in with these contracts, as well as making significant changes to the Dunfermline network to cater for travel to the new learning campus in Duloch, due to open at this time."
