I’d like to thank the Member for her questions and very much endorse what she said, not least about the importance of Bus Users Cymru and of the need for Network Rail to ensure that the upgrades, which are long overdue, to Cardiff railway station are appropriate and ensure that there is a seamless, safe passenger journey from the railway station to the bus station.

In terms of congestion on roads, I would very much welcome the developments that have taken place in Cardiff. We could consider them, in many respects, best practice. I recognise that, in many parts of Wales, due to the narrowness of urban roads and streets, it can be difficult to incorporate bus routes into built-up areas. However, where they are possible, I think it’s absolutely essential. In terms of the metro development in south Wales, of course there may be a role for rapid bus transport, which would also see smooth operations of rapid buses within residential and commercial areas.

I’m very keen to attract to the summit in the new year young people and also disabled people. I’d be very open to any suggestions that Members have as to where we should seek appropriate people from. And also, with regard to the question posed by Russell George, I’d also be keen to invite along, possibly, young carers to be able to give their own experience of using bus services and some of the frustrations that there may be with the current network. I think that, for young people in particular, there is a need—and I mentioned this earlier—to better market the bus network as an appropriate form of transport. We know that there are something in the region of 113,000 young people who are eligible for mytravelpass, which is the brand name for the young persons’ discounted bus travel scheme—113,000 young people aged 16, 17 and 18. Yet, to date, only 8,000 have applied for that valuable bus pass. Every opportunity—and I think any opportunity—that we get to flag up the existence of the pass we should take. But also I’m very keen that the sector itself should come together more in terms of marketing concessionary travel opportunities to travel seamlessly and to also ensure that there is integrated travel, not just for young people, but for everybody.

For young people in particular, there is a need for good quality, regular bus services, because, of course, many don't have the option of being able to drive, given the cost of insuring a private vehicle, but also many older people, as well as many young people—but I know, certainly insofar as my parents are concerned, I think you have a lack of confidence on the roads as a driver as you reach a certain age, and I think it's absolutely essential, therefore, that we maintain rural, as well as urban, services wherever and whenever possible and make them, again, as integrated as possible and ensure that there is the best possible quality of service.
