Starting this week, getting around Wales just got a whole lot easier for thousands of young people. A new, one year pilot scheme has launched, cutting bus fares to just £1 for a single journey and £3 for an unlimited day ticket.
This is more than just a discount; it’s a huge opportunity. By making travel more affordable, the scheme helps young people connect with the things that matter most: education, employment and social life. No more worrying about the cost of a trip to college, a job interview or a night out with friends.
How to Get Your Discount
Taking advantage of these new fares is simple. If you’re aged 16 to 21, all you need is a mytravelpass. The best part? It’s completely free to apply.
Once you have your pass, you can buy your discounted tickets directly from the bus driver or through your bus operator’s app. Just remember to register your mytravelpass and be ready to show it to the driver. The discount also applies to cross-border services as long as your journey starts or ends in Wales.
And the good news doesn’t stop there. The program is set to be extended in November to include young people aged 5 to 15, ensuring even more children and families can benefit from these lower travel costs.
A Greener, More Accessible Future
This pilot scheme is a significant step toward making public transport a more attractive option for young people in Wales. Transport for Wales hopes that by making buses more affordable, more people will choose public transport, leading to a more sustainable and accessible future for everyone.
