Welsh Transport Statistics 2010 – Chapter 8: Public service vehicles

Statistics on Public service vehicles include data up to 2011-12.

The key points from the latest release are:

• Provisional figures suggest that there was a 3 per cent decrease in local authority public transport support in Wales during 2009-2010 compared with the previous year. England saw a 3 per cent decrease, and Scotland an 12 per cent decrease during the same period.
• Local bus fares continue to rise steadily in Wales where there was an increase in real terms of 2 per cent between 2009-10 and 2008-09. Great Britain saw an increase of 4 per cent during the same period.
• A local transport services grant of £11 million was allocated to local authorities for 2011-12.
• The number of local passenger journeys has fallen from 125 million in 2008-09 to 117 million in 2009-10. Over the same period, local bus and coach vehicle kilometres have fallen from 126 million to 121 million, which is due to the fall in commercial services.
