All 16 to 18-year-olds in Wales will be able to save a third off the price of adult bus fares from 1 September, Welsh ministers have announced.

The Welsh Young Persons Discounted Travel Scheme applies to local journeys and longer distance TrawsCymru routes.

The project, costing £15m between now and April 2017, is part of a Labour-Liberal Democrat deal to pass the Welsh government's budget.

The first minister launched the scheme at an event in Corwen, Denbighshire.

Carwyn Jones encouraged all 110,000 16 to 18-year-olds in Wales to register their interest at Gov.wales/mytravelpass.
