What discussions is the Minister having with Transport for Wales on how they are reducing fare dodging?
Answered by Deputy Minister for Climate Change | Answered on 20/03/2024
I regularly meet with the Chair and Chief Executive of Transport for Wales where we discuss a range of issues including revenue protection. All Transport for Wales trains operate with a ticket issuing conductor, and additional revenue protection inspectors are used across the network. Transport for Wales have recently introduced penalty fares on the South Wales main line as a fair and proportionate means of tackling ticketless travel.
