Appeal on Ammanford bus services
People who experience any problems on a bus service in the Ammanford area are being urged to contact the Traffic Commissioner.
A number of complaints have been received regarding Veolia Transport which operates the 126, 127, 130, 145, 146 and 164 routes.
The company no longer has a contract with Carmarthenshire County Council, but has continued operating without subsidy.
This means that the council cannot take any action against the company if the service is not provided.
Deputy Leader Cllr Kevin Madge has complained to the Traffic Commissioner after the matter was brought to his attention.
Cllr Madge said: “These services are vital for people living in the Ammanford area, many older people rely on them to get out and about.
“I have complained to the Traffic Commissioner, which is the regulatory body responsible for commercial bus services, after it was brought to my attention that a number of problems had been experienced with this operator.
“I would urge anyone who has experienced any difficulties with these services to contact the Traffic Commissioner directly to express their concerns.”
