A National Statistics bulletin on Public Transport Use in Wales produced by the Welsh Assembly Government was released on 22 May 2008 according to the arrangements approved by the UK Statistics Authority.

UK Statistics Authority Website Statistics on Public Transport Use include data for Wales for the period 2005-06.  The statistics have been taken from the 2005 and 2006 Living in Wales surveys, which is an annual Welsh household survey.

The key points from the bulletin are:

  • Fewer than 1 in 5 male respondents have used their local bus service in the last seven days
  • A quarter of female respondents have used the bus in the last seven days
  • Only 1 in 20 respondents have used the train in the last seven days
  • Respondents aged under 30 and those aged 60 and over are more likely to have used the bus in the last seven days than those in other age groups
  • Those living in households of lower income are more than twice as likely to have used the bus in the last seven days than those in higher income households
