Public transport in Wales: “Now they’ve even stolen our bus”
bylines.cymru
When it comes to public transport, Wales is moving backwards. At the very time we all need to use it more, it increasingly doesn’t exist

My parents never owned a car. Living until they were 90 and 87, I think a big part of the reason for their longevity was that they travelled everywhere by bus and other public transport. Living on Tyneside, our family benefitted from the introduction of the Tyne and Wear Metro.

I remember travelling to school in 1979 using a single ‘Transfare’ ticket, readily used on both light rail and bus. Public transport worked in the 1970s.
