Bus travel for those in the armed forces and veterans will be free on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday

Stagecoach is offering free bus travel for veterans, members of the military, and cadets, attending events in support of Armed Forces Day.

Starting from Friday June 27 until Sunday June 29, any serving military personnel wearing uniform or showing a military ID will be eligible for free bus travel, along with any veteran presenting a veterans’ badge or military medal.

Stagecoach also provides free travel on Remembrance Day and Remembrance Sunday each year, in honour of those who have served. 

Martin Gibbon, managing director for Stagecoach South Wales, said: “We’re incredibly proud to support Armed Forces Day and recognise the important contributions of those who serve and have served.

“Providing free travel across south Wales is a small gesture to show our appreciation and help people attend local events to honour the Armed Forces community.

“We’re also committed to being a supportive and inclusive employer for veterans and service families.”
