Moray's MSP has urged Stagecoach to make a minor modification so its number 32 bus route includes the village of Roseisle.
The route currently turns off at the Maltings crossroads as it heads to and from Burghead.
Richard Lochhead said: "Bringing bus services back to Roseisle was an issue raised by several of my constituents who came along to my recent surgery in Roseisle.
"It's clear how important this is for the community.
"This addition would greatly benefit Roseisle, enhancing accessibility and offering local residents more options for travel, as well as allowing others from nearby communities to travel into Roseisle.
"With free bus travel for under 22s and over 60s in Scotland creating new opportunities and reducing financial barriers, I hope Stagecoach consider this change and do all they can to make this happen.”
Councillor Neil Cameron (Heldon and Laich, SNP) is also calling for the change.
He said: "It's important that small communities have access to bus services. A minor tweak to the existing bus route is all that's needed here to allow folk in Roseisle to use the service.
"By incorporating Roseisle into the bus network, this would deliver efficient and accessible transportation solutions and demonstrate a dedication to meeting the needs of passengers."
