New Powys public transport network
1 September 2025
Following a comprehensive engagement and consultation exercise, the council has committed a significant financial investment and revised its local bus timetables and service routes, incorporating public feedback to ensure a more efficient, inclusive, and sustainable transport network.
The upgraded network aims to deliver the Sustainable Powys ambition of connecting communities and localities to their core towns within an hour's journey time. It also provides for longer distance services throughout the county and for onward travel to bigger towns and cities across the borders that Powys residents may need to get to for health, education and other services that are not available locally.
"With an increase in routes, bus numbers and more evening and weekend travel options, from today Monday 1 September, Powys communities can benefit from a more connected county." Explains Cllr Jackie Charlton, Cabinet Member for a Greener Powys.
"With new seven-year contracts awarded to a range of local and regional transport operators, the upgraded public transport network in Powys aims to provide more reliable and frequent services in rural areas with better connections between towns and key services.
"Along with improved public transport provision, we are delighted that the young people of Powys will also now benefit from the extension of the Welsh Government young person's travel concession (MyTravelPass), allowing them to travel on buses within Wales for just £1."
