Will the Cabinet Secretary provide an update on what discussions they are having with councils about franchising bus services?
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for the Economy, Transport and North Wales | Answered on 26/07/2024
Transport for Wales and Welsh Government officials meet local authorities regularly to discuss both ongoing issues with bus services and preparations for franchising. The Roadmap to Bus Franchising document, published in March, set out the state of those preparations and the basis for further collaboration to develop a joint programme for franchising bus services in Wales.
