Great news for young people in Wales and a brilliant way to encourage lifelong sustainable travel habits - particularly welcome during #CatchTheBusMonth #MysDalYBws 👏🚍 #LoveTheBus #GetOnBoard
Young people have taken more than 9 million bus journeys for just £1 since our scheme was introduced last year—and now we’re extending it!
£1 bus fares for 5-21 year olds will continue until March 2027, allowing more young people to benefit from affordable travel.

🚌It's #CatchTheBusMonth. This year's theme? #MythBusting
❌Myth: "Buses only benefit the people who use them"
✔️Truth: Buses benefit everyone they reduce congestion, cut pollution, connect communities & boost the economy
So why not get on board 🚌💚

Great bus stops don't just improve the journey, they can make the journey possible #CatchTheBusMonth #Trueform #CTBM26
@BusUsersUK Every journey starts at the bus stop.
Safe, accessible, well-designed infrastructure can build confidence, improve passenger experience and encourage more people to choose public transport.

Proud to have been part of this campaign to remove barriers and open up opportunities for everyone #AccessibleTransport #CatchTheBusMonth #CTBM26
Yesterday, Andy Burnham took questions in Parliament for the first time as PM - and I thanked him for scrapping time restrictions on disabled bus passes.
He credited our campaign in Parliament. After nearly two years of pushing, that meant a lot - and it’s genuinely refreshing to see cross-party working deliver a real change.
But the job isn’t done.
There are still loads of barriers that people with disabilities face, including the postcode lottery which applies to companion bus passes - which is why I’ve asked the PM to fix that next.
My colleague was at Coleg Gwent earlier with @StagecoachWales for #MisDalYBws #CatchTheBusMonth talking to students about the excellent value for money bus fares are for young people. Get on board this month,and Catch The Bus! @BusUsersUK
