When did the Welsh Government notify bus operators that the bus emergency scheme funding would be coming to an end?
Answered by Deputy Minister for Climate Change | Answered on 23/05/2023
Welsh Government officials have worked closely with the bus industry throughout the Bus Emergency Scheme, the duration of which has been reflected in scheme agreements.
The Welsh Government will continue to work with Local Authorities and bus operators to maximise the funding available for the remainder of the financial year and will provide an update in due course. This will need to act as a bridge to our franchising plans.
