About

This is a follow on agreement for season ticket purchase on commercial bus services from September 2026.

There are currently commercial bus services running to St Josephs, Bassaleg, LLanwern, John Frost and Ysgol Gyfun Gwent Iscoed schools which we currently purchase season tickets to and these services can also carry fare paying passengers and pupils who do not qualify for free transport.

We are not allowed to invite competition by other operators against a current commercial bus service that is already running and there are no current registrations being registered with the Traffic Commissioner on any of these routes by any other operator.
