Question
What is the Welsh Government doing to increase the number of bus services running in the evenings and weekends in Ceredigion Penfro?
Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Transport (Mark Hooper)
Local authorities are responsible for assessing local transport needs and can use Welsh Government funding, including the Bus Network Grant and Bus Services Support Grant, to support socially necessary services where commercial provision is not viable. We continue to provide significant funding to help local authorities maintain and enhance bus networks, including evening and weekend services where local need is identified.
