Plans to extend Derby's bus station have been ditched and the city council is set to hand back government funding earmarked for the project.
The bus station at Riverlights opened in 2010 but it regularly gets congested and the council has been working on plans to add eight bus bays.
Detailed work has now thrown up problems with ground conditions meaning the project can't be delivered with the budget set aside.
The £2.1m of government funding is likely to be handed back.
The council instead hopes to use technology so buses can make more efficient use of the bus station.
