Deputy Climate Change Minister Lee Waters has announced that support for the bus industry in Wales will continue, with £39 million confirmed for the year ahead.
The Deputy Minister with responsibility for transport said the funding would be provided through a new ‘Bus Network Grant’.
The grant will be made available to local authorities to secure services once the Welsh Government’s Bus Transition Fund comes to an end on Sunday, 31 March 2024.
The new Bus Network Grant will begin on 1 April 2024 and run for 12 months.
Local authorities will be required to meet specific conditions to receive funding.
These include ensuring routes and timetables support improved journey times, deliver opportunities for greater connectivity where possible, and provide improved information about the times of bus services.
