Buses are a 'lifeline' for older people

Welsh charity Age Cymru are warning that cuts to bus services across Wales would severely affect the older generation.

Buses are a lifeline for older people - they provide people with a link to family, friends and local services such as supermarkets or GP surgeries. Without reliable bus services older people who don't have access to other transport links can be left feeling isolated and lonely.
