A new Bill in #Wales aims to transform local bus services, making them more reliable, affordable, and integrated. The Bus Services (Wales) Bill proposes one network, one timetable, and one ticket across Wales, coordinated nationally with local input. It seeks to improve service delivery via franchised contracts with private, public, and third-sector operators. The Bill tackles issues like poor reliability, unaccepted tickets, and lack of integration with other #transport modes. Benefits include better service, easier transitions between #buses and #trains, and reinvested ticket revenue. The reform will start in South West Wales in 2027, with full implementation across the regions by 2030.

@drtcombs.bsky.social Is the key factor really the amount of traffic as the article claims? Or is it the amount of time spent commuting, mixed with low-density suburban sprawl?

Imagine spending an hour or more getting ready in the morning, and an hour travelling into work, and then eight hours at work, and then another hour of unpaid overtime, and then another hour heading home.

I don't blame you after all that not wanting to spend an hour preparing and cooking dinner!

And if you're in a low-density suburb where most of the options are fast food, it's understandable if what you end up with is a Big Mac.

Especially if you're in a car, and a drive thru gets you home quicker.

I think the answer is to give more people the option to live closer to where they work, or to work from home more often.

And denser areas close to public transport tend to have a greater variety of meal options than the car-dependent outer suburbs.

So the answer isn't more roads. It's more quality housing, work, and transport alternatives.
