The Welsh Government has reminded the public that young people aged between 16 & 21 should sign up for a free mytravelpass before 1 September to ensure they are able to take advantage of the incoming 1 GBP bus fare pilot scheme.
The scheme will see bus fares a young person’s bus fare remain at 1 GBP for two financial years, with 15 million GBP funding provided as part of the Budget deal with Leader of the Welsh Liberal Democrats Jane Dodds.
Single fares across Wales will be 1 GBP, with 3 GBP day travel tickets also available allowing young people unlimited travel with any participating service.
Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales, Ken Skates, said:This scheme will make a real difference to young people across Wales, and will allow them to make journeys for work, education and leisure at a discounted price.
I would encourage those who don’t yet have a mytravelpass to apply so they can take full advantage of the scheme when it begins on 1 September.
The Government has also pledged to invest an additional 7 million GBP to extend the scheme to those aged between 5 & 15 beginning 3 November.
