Free buses are back for the summer holidays
Thousands of residents are getting a chance to enjoy free bus services right across Swansea for this year's school summer holidays.
The popular service is back for a third summer as new figures revealed almost half a million rides were enjoyed by residents and visitors during the offer's first two summer seasons.
Long, Friday to Monday weekends of free bus travel, starting and finishing in Swansea, will begin on 28 July and run until the bank holiday on 28 August.
Rob Stewart, Leader of the Council, said, "The Free Ride Swansea offer has been a huge success. It was the first initiative of its kind in Wales to offer free bus travel for everyone and getting on for half a million rides have been taken in its first two summers.
"At a time when we are all having to deal with the cost of living crisis, rising rents and mortgages, the return of the Free Ride Swansea offer will be welcomed by many families.
"From the feedback we've received, it's clear that it's helped hard-pressed families go places they'd have struggled to afford to visit otherwise.
"The free bus ride offer is on top of free and lower-priced city centre parking offers we're also introducing in coming weeks."
