🚍 Calling all young people in Wales! Exciting news for those aged 16 to 21 – you can now hop on a bus for just £1 starting today! 🎉 As part of a new pilot scheme, single bus fares are only £1, and there are £3 day tickets up for grabs too. It’s a fantastic time to explore work, education, or leisure opportunities without breaking the bank.
To enjoy these discounted fares, make sure to sign up for your free mytravelpass. 📲 And good news, this scheme will expand to include those aged 11 to 15 this November!
Transport Secretary Ken Skates is thrilled about the positive impact this will have on young people, stating it opens up new possibilities by making essential journeys more affordable. The move is seen as a “lifeline,” breaking down barriers to education, training, and jobs, while also encouraging the use of public transport. 🌍
Jane Dodds MS from the Welsh Liberal Democrats has applauded this effort, highlighting the positive effect on tackling the cost-of-living crisis. She says the new fare will help young people travel for education, meet friends, and access job opportunities.
Not only will this help reduce travel costs, but it also encourages greener travel habits and contributes to tackling climate change. 🌱 So, if you haven’t got your mytravelpass yet, now’s the time! Spread the word and grab the chance to explore Wales for less. 💼🚌
