Question
What consideration has the Cabinet Secretary given to introducing a school-run type ticket on Transport for Wales services, similar to the scheme by Cardiff Bus?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for North Wales and Transport
I welcome the recent introduction of the new trial offer from Cardiff Bus to encourage parents and pupils to use public transport to travel to and from school. Transport for Wales already offer free travel on their services for children aged under 16 when travelling with a fare paying adult. However, I have asked them to engage with Cardiff Council regarding the School Run Ticket trial to understand if a similar product would be beneficial for their rail services across Wales and the Borders.
