TrawsCymru’s network spans 13 routes across Wales, and was first created in 2012 to create communities where rail links are limited.
Deputy Transport Minister Mark Hooper said:Transport plays a key role in supporting economic growth by helping people access work, education, and other services.
Simplified fares, more frequent services, connectivity with other bus services and newer vehicles are all part of this service.
I am really excited to be building on Wales’ existing transport connections with a fleet of new, modern, accessible vehicles designed for comfort and sustainability and I look forward to seeing Welsh communities benefit from these enhanced services.
