Local authorities across Wales are to share £25m to help support local bus services.
The grant will enable councils to subsidise ‘socially-necessary’ bus and community transport services across the country.
‘I am pleased we have been able to maintain our investment levels in Wales’ bus services despite increasingly challenging financial settlements,’ said economy secretary Ken Skates.
‘This is a reflection of our commitment to supporting our bus industry and to delivering an effective network of buses for communities as part of an integrated, multi-modal system of public transport right across Wales.’
The grant is allocated to reflect the authorities’ overall populations and their rural or urban characteristics.
