Carl Sargeant AM Welcomes new smartcard to transform public transport use in Alyn & Deeside
A new smartcard for concessionary bus pass holders has been rolled-out across Wales and is the first step in transforming the way people use pubic transport.
Welcoming the successful roll-out of 650,000 smart bus passes Carl Sargeant, Welsh Assembly Member for Alyn & Deeside said the technology will eventually be used for travel on all forms of public transport.
He said the new technology would reduce costs, improve efficiency and provide the basis for an all-Wales public transport card.
Carl Sargeant AM for Alyn & Deeside said,
“I’m delighted that this new system will now be in place for all users of the free bus pass in Alyn & Deeside and can be used throughout Wales, this demonstrates the Labour led Assembly’s ongoing commitment to free bus travel.”
