Prof Stuart Cole: Services should be brought together

Extra money is being given to two local authorities to trial new ways to co-ordinate bus and community transport services, particularly in rural areas.

The Vale of Glamorgan and Ceredigion councils have been given £100,000 from the Welsh government.

The year long trial will also look at using council vehicles to help people access health and social care.

It comes as some of Wales' largest bus operators have cut services blaming a reduction in subsidies they receive.

Professor Stuart Cole said services should be brought together by various outlets.
