Er gwaethaf yr arian ychwanegol rydym wedi'i ddarparu, rydym yn dal i wynebu cyfuniad heriol o gostau cynyddol a llai o alw, ac mae hyn wedi arwain at gwmnïau bysiau ledled Cymru yn torri'n ôl ar lwybrau ac amlder gwasanaethau. Rwy'n ddiolchgar am y ffordd gydweithredol y mae cwmniau bysiau ledled Cymru wedi gweithio gyda ni i reoli effaith yr heriau hyn, ond waeth beth fo'r arian cyhoeddus er achubiaeth economaidd a ddarparwyd ers y pandemig, os nad yw gwasanaethau'n gwneud llawer o elw neu'n gwneud colled nid oes gan gwmniau preifat unrhyw gymhelliant i barhau i'w rhedeg - heb gymorth ychwanegol gan Lywodraeth Cymru nac awdurdodau lleol.
Despite the additional funding we have made available, we still face a challenging combination of rising costs and supressed demand, and this has led bus companies across Wales to cut back on routes and service frequencies. I am grateful for the collaborative way bus operators across Wales have worked with us to manage the impact of these challenges, but regardless of the economic lifeline public funds have provided since the pandemic, if services are marginal or lossmaking private operators have no incentive to continue running them – without additional support from the Welsh Government or local authorities.
