Transport for Wales introduces long distance bus planning and ticketing app

Transport for Wales has launched a new app for its long distance Traws Cymru bus network that supports the Welsh Government's aim of achieving a bus system that “boosts social equity and is capable of delivering the scale of modal shift needed to combat the climate emergency.”

The app will help customers with journey planning, timetables, live vehicle tracking and offer mobile app ticketing.

TrawsCymru is an integral part of the bus network in Wales, providing links between major towns and cities and helping people connect to work, education, health and leisure destinations.

Over the next few years, Transport for Wales will be introducing improvements to the network, low carbon vehicles, integration of TrawsCymru and rail ticketing and improving roadside infrastructure and information for passengers.

James Price, Chief Executive at Transport for Wales said, “Our new app and website for TrawsCymru represent a significant milestone in our plans to transform and improve public transport in Wales, as we look to create a network which appeals to a much wider demographic.

“Our purpose is to progress the Welsh government’s vision of a stable, easy-to-use network of bus services that fully connects to other methods of public transport. We want to provide a reliable, affordable, flexible and low-carbon transport network that supports more people to use the bus instead of their cars – and our new TrawsCymru app and website will complement our ongoing efforts”.
