Real-time information available on T4 Cardiff bus service

 
27/02/2019 @ 09:03
Users of the Newtown to Cardiff bus service can now track where it is when waiting for it at a bus stop along the route.

The T4 services travel from Newtown to Brecon and Cardiff and passengers are being asked for their views on a new real-time system which helps track where and how far away a bus is at any given moment in time.

Passengers travelling on the service might also be asked to take part in the short survey whilst others can give their views via an online version which is available until Monday 11 March 2019. 

Cllr Aled Davies, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Transport, said: “In a rural county like Powys, bus services can and do provide an important service for a number of residents who need to get from A to B but don’t have access to or cannot drive for various reasons. 

“The real-time information system is a great investment in technology which will help those needing to use public transport to check in and feel safer knowing exactly how far away their bus is and when it will arrive at their stop.”

The online survey which also asks about the Free Weekend Travel scheme and satisfaction with the bus service overall runs until Monday 11 March. It is available on the council’s website at www.powys.gov.uk/haveyoursay
