Safety fears after changes to free school transport
Merthyr Express
|May 01, 2025
A PARENT has raised concerns about the safety and length of routes pupils in Rhondda Cynon Taf (RCT) will have to walk when they lose free school transport in September.
-
Sarah Miles and her husband live in Trehafod and have two children in mainstream education.
One attends Porth Community School and for the past three years has been granted a bus pass.
But now, due to changes approved by RCT council, Sarah says her daughter will not be entitled to free transport from September as they live within a three-mile radius of the school.
The change means that only secondary and post-16 students living three miles or more from their school or college receive free school transport, with the 1.5-mile distance remaining unchanged for primary school pupils.
