BUS service reform in Wales will put people first in a move away from prioritising profit, Climate Minister Lee Waters announced today.

“We’re moving from a privatised system that puts profit before people towards one that will plan buses and trains together around the needs of passengers,” Mr Waters said.

“This is the most far-reaching set of reforms taking place anywhere in the UK.”
