The updates aim to make travel more convenient and cost-effective, with passengers now able to move seamlessly between routes using a single ticket.

Working in partnership, Transport for Wales, Powys County Council and Adventure Travel are introducing this new fare structure which includes through fares from the local bus services (62 and 64) onto the T6 route, providing passengers with easier travel options to destinations including Brecon, Neath, Swansea, and beyond.

Fully integrated ticketing: Passengers can travel between T6, 62, and 64 routes with a single ticket, allowing through fares from the 62 route (Banwen - Ystradgynlais) and 64 route (Ammanford - Ystradgynlais) onto T6 north to Brecon or south to Neath/Swansea, and vice versa.

New through fares between routes 62 and 64: Passengers can now travel with a single ticket between any two locations on these routes, making cross-service travel easier than ever.

Lower single fare prices: Passengers can now benefit from single fares set at approximately 50 per cent of the equivalent return fare, significantly lowering the cost of travel on all three services.

Ystradgynlais flat fare zone: All single journeys within the Ystradgynlais zone will cost £1.50, with a new 7-day ticket available for unlimited travel within the zone for £10.00.

New T6 / 62 / 64 Day Ticket: A new £8.00 Day Ticket provides unlimited travel on all three services, perfect for frequent travellers.

A new 7-day ticket will be available for £28.00, offering a cost-effective option for regular passengers.

Powys Day Rover Ticket: The popular Powys Day Rover continues to be available for £9.00, granting access to the entire Powys bus network, including the newly integrated T6, 62, and 64 routes.

Child and Young Person Discounts: There will be a 33 per cent discount on all child fares, including those with a valid My Travel Pass for young persons, making travel more affordable for families.

All tickets are available via the TrawsCymru app: Passengers can easily purchase day and week tickets, including the new integrated options, directly via the TrawsCymru app for added convenience.
