[quarella]

For the month of March bus travel in the Rhondda Cynon Taff Council area is free.

What journeys will be free?


As Rhondda Cynon Taf will be the only Council in Wales to be offering this initiative, the scheme will only cover journeys that start and end in RCT. The scheme will not cover journeys that cross county boundaries.


Passengers traveling out of Rhondda Cynon Taf, or into the County Borough from any other local authority area, will need to purchase their normal tickets at the appropriate full fare. For example, a bus journey from Aberdare to Porthcawl would be free from Aberdare to Gilfach Goch, but the user would have to pay the full fare if the journey ended within the Bridgend County Borough area.


All scheduled bus services are included, regardless of the operator, and no time restrictions apply (for example, the first and last services of the day are included).

I'm not convinced passenger numbers were greatly increased today but snow yesterday followed by rain and temperatures barely above freezing were not going to bring out the casual traveller.
