What plans does the Welsh Government have to improve bus services in west Wales?
Ateb
Atebwyd gan Deputy Minister for Transport (Mark Hooper)
Welsh Government is providing around £16.9 million this year through Bus Network Grant and Bus Service Support Grant to support bus services in South West Wales.
A fleet of new cleaner buses have been deployed on the TrawsCymru T5 route which links Haverfordwest and Aberystwyth, and the frequency of service has been improved.
Longer term, we are moving forward with plans to franchise local bus services. South West Wales will be the first region to be franchised, and Transport for Wales has carried out an extensive public engagement campaign and held workshops with operators and community transport operators in the region. A public report on the findings from the public engagement campaign and next steps has been published.
