Bus and Community Transport Services in Wales

Bus and Community Transport Services in Wales

The Enterprise and Business Committee carried out an inquiry into bus and community transport services in Wales. 

 

The Committee asked for views on:

 

  • The current condition of the bus and community transport sector in Wales, including the reasons for the recent decline in both registered bus services and bus passenger numbers.
  • The social, environmental and economic impact of the recent decline in bus services and passenger numbers.
  • The potential benefits or otherwise of devolution of bus registration powers, proposed in the UK Government’s Command Paper – ‘Powers for a Purpose: Towards a Lasting Devolution Settlement’ in February 2015, and whether further powers to regulate the bus industry are desirable.
  • The steps which should be taken to ensure bus and community transport services meet the needs of Wales.
