Further to WQ93508, will the Cabinet Secretary provide an update on what discussions they are having with bus companies of all sizes on 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 are regularly meeting with operators and industry representatives to discuss preparations for franchising. Industry representatives were engaged in the development of our Roadmap to Bus Franchising, published in March, and as these plans are developed further, we will continue to test them with operators of all sizes to make sure they deliver the bus services people need.
