Aled Roberts (North Wales) To propose that the National Assembly for Wales: 1. Notes that safe and affordable public transport is key to
enabling young people to access work, education, training and apprenticeships. 2. Regrets that the affordability of public transport acts as

transport for local communities. 5. Calls on the Welsh Government to: a) work with bus operators to introduce a national

rate for 16-18 year olds and students; b) examine the feasibility of a season ticket for part-time
