TrawsCambria passengers have their say

Travellers from Carmarthenshire who use the TrawsCambria bus service have had a say in the way their services are delivered.
There have been a series of public consultations and X40 passengers had the opportunity to make their views known at Lampeter Post Office.
The X40 bus service between Carmarthen and Aberystwyth running via Pencader, Llanybydder, Llandbedr Pont Steffan, Lampeter and Aberaeron carries tens of thousands of passengers annually.
Carmarthenshire County Council makes a contribution of more than £76,000 annually to TrawsCambria services.
County executive board member for transport services Philip Hughes said this was a vital service helping people in rural communityies link up with hubs of transport. He was delighted they had been empowered to have their say on improving the service. He praised the Assembly for allowing service users to have their say.
Cllr Hughes said: “There has been a major consultation process and it was encouraging to see so many Carmarthenshire folk involved to make the case for upholding and improving seamless long-distance journeys through Wales linking road and rail.”
Established more than 30 years ago, the TrawsCambria medium to longer distance network provides essential public transport links between key centres for more than half a million passengers a year largely affecting travellers in the Lampeter, Aberaeron and Aberystwyth triangle.
As part of a review of the network, the results of the September public consultations is being analysed by the Assembly to consider a range of potential improvements the results of which will be published in 2011.
