Welsh Liberal Democrats welcome launch of £1 bus fares for under-21s

Speaking at the Welsh Government's launch of the £1 bus fare for people aged 21 and under, the Leader of the Welsh Liberal Democrats, Jane Dodds MS, said:

“I’m delighted that the Welsh Government is implementing this key Welsh Liberal Democrat policy to help young people with the cost of public transport.

“So many young people have told me what a difference both the £1 single and £3 daily tickets will make to their lives when the scheme launches in September.

“This policy - along with initiatives like free childcare hours for two-year-olds - shows the real impact the Welsh Liberal Democrats are already having on people's lives across Wales.

“Today’s launch is an important reminder of why the Welsh Liberal Democrats put party politics to one side in order to pass the Welsh Government’s budget.

“These policies are just the beginning of our ambition for Wales, and we’re determined to deliver even more to help build the fair, caring, and prosperous country we all want to see.”
