South West Wales Bus Network
About the Consultation
Local Authorities in South West Wales and Transport for Wales are working together to propose some improvements to the bus network, in preparation for wider bus reform.
Bus reform will mean that decisions about bus services in Wales (including routes, timetables, fares, hours of operation and service quality standard), will be made by Welsh Government and Transport for Wales. Transport for Wales will be working in partnership with local authorities and Corporate Joint Committees (CJCs). Bus operators can bid for contracts of various sizes to run services to agreed specifications.
Under bus reform, local authorities, Corporate Joint Committees, bus operators, Transport for Wales and the Welsh Government will all work together to design better bus networks and services delivered mainly through franchising. Within the funding available, they will prioritise services that best meet people’s and communities’ needs. Franchising brings together the strengths of private, municipal and community operators in efficient service delivery within a coordinated and planned public transport network. This change will benefit the people of Wales while accommodating local and regional needs and differences.
Your views
Transport for Wales want to hear from you to help refine their proposed local bus network ahead of it being introduced from 2027.
The online survey (opens in a new tab) will aim to capture views, which will help refine our Proposed Base Network. However, there are ‘free text’ opportunities so that information can be provided on anything that matters to people about bus.
