Plans for delivering bus reform in Wales have been set out today.
Lee Waters, deputy minister for climate change, has proposed Our Roadmap to Bus Reform which aims to shake-up the way the public transport system works in Wales.
The current system where bus operators decide where to run services based on where they can maximise profit will be replaced by a system of ‘franchised’ contracts.
Transport for Wales, local councils and the Welsh government will work together to design bus networks that link key services and tie up with other buses and with train timetables all using one ticket.
Companies will then be able to bid to run the whole package of routes for an area, not just the ones that are the most profitable.
Waters said: “We’re moving from a privatised system that puts profit before people towards one that will plan buses and trains together around the needs of passengers.”
He also said that this marks a "major milestone" in Wales' bus reform journey.
The aim to "connect bus, rail, walking and cycling routes" will make it easier for people to make more sustainable choices, according to Waters.
