Bws Bach y Wlad launched to Address Rural Transport Gap in Carmarthenshire

We are proud to launch Bws Bach y Wlad, a new initiative aimed at improving public transport accessibility in rural areas across the region.

Designed as a village hopper style service, Bws Bach y Wlad is set to benefit rural residents by providing them with increased opportunities for convenient and affordable travel. Operating as a Pilot operation for 9 months, five days a week, the service will offer free concessionary travel and discounted rates for young people, making it more accessible to a wider range of community members.

The service will play a crucial role in addressing the challenges faced by local residents in accessing essential services such as healthcare and shopping.

To avoid duplication and optimise the overall network, the project team will collaborate closely with Community Transport providers, Dolen Teifi. This strategic partnership aims to ensure that future services complement the intended network, offering a seamless and integrated transportation solution for the benefit of the entire community.
