We need more cheap ticket schemes like this to get more people under 60 onto buses.
And how many of these routes go through rural mid-Wales? Llandovery has only one bus in one direction (to Carmarthen) after 6pm.
Once again this shows the inequality in public transport for a large part of Wales. Perhaps if Senedd members were made to live in the wilds, they would realise the stupidity of their pronouncements, and the need for a car.
