Bydd staff y GIG yn cael teithio am ddim ar fysiau ledled Cymru yn gyfnewid am gronfa galedi gan Lywodraeth Cymru yn ystod y tri mis nesaf, gyda theithio am ddim ar gael eisoes ar drenau Trafnidiaeth Cymru. 


Bydd Trafnidiaeth Cymru yn derbyn cefnogaeth ariannol ychwanegol ac mae cronfa galedi wedi cael ei sefydlu i helpu cwmnïau bysiau wrth i niferoedd teithwyr ostwng hyd at 90% wrth i deithwyr gadw at y rheolau aros gartref fel ymateb i bandemig y coronafeirws.


Mae’r gefnogaeth ar y cyd yn werth hyd at £69m.


Dywedodd Gweinidog yr Economi, Trafnidiaeth a Gogledd Cymru, Ken Skates:



> “Mae’r galw am drafnidiaeth gyhoeddus wedi lleihau’n sylweddol wrth i bobl ddilyn y rheolau aros gartref newydd i achub bywydau a gwarchod y GIG.        
> 
> 
> “Mae ein darparwyr rheilffordd, cwmnïau bysiau a gweithredwyr trafnidiaeth gymunedol – llawer ohonynt yn fusnesau ac elusennau bach – yn wynebu heriau ariannol sylweddol.               
> 
> 
> “Bydd y gefnogaeth hon yn rhoi i weithredwyr trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus y cyllid cychwynnol y mae arnyn nhw ei angen i barhau i ddarparu gwasanaethau a thalu i gyflogeion ac is\-gontractwyr tra rydyn ni’n parhau i weithio gyda nhw i ddatblygu pecyn cynhwysfawr o fesurau i sicrhau rhwydwaith bysiau effeithlon, cynaliadwy a chadarn.”


Bydd y gronfa galedi i fysiau’n cael ei thalu’n fisol ymlaen llaw am hyd at dri mis a bydd yn cymryd lle’r arian grant dros dro presennol sy’n cael ei ddarparu drwy’r grant cefnogi gwasanaethau bysiau, ffioedd rhatach gorfodol a MyTravelPass fel rhan o’u busnes arferol.  


Am y gefnogaeth ariannol gan Lywodraeth Cymru, bydd rhaid i gwmnïau bysiau ymrwymo i barhau i ddarparu gwasanaeth amserlen a bydd staff y GIG i gyd yn cael teithio am ddim. Mae Trafnidiaeth Cymru eisoes yn cynnig teithio am ddim i staff y GIG ar ei wasanaethau.


Hefyd mae’r Gweinidog wedi cadarnhau, tra bo’r rheolau aros gartref yn eu lle, bod y teithio am ddim ar benwythnosau ar rwydwaith Traws Cymru wedi’i ohirio dros dro a hefyd bydd gwasanaeth awyr Rhwymedigaeth Gwasanaeth Cyhoeddus Caerdydd i Ynys Môn yn cael ei ohirio am dri mis.  


Ychwanegodd Mr Skates:



> “Rydyn ni wedi ymrwymo i greu rhwydwaith trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus integredig a chynaliadwy ledled Cymru. 
> 
> 
> “Ond ein blaenoriaeth ni ar hyn o bryd yw gwarchod y cyhoedd, pobl sy’n gweithio ar drafnidiaeth gyhoeddus a’n GIG. Rhaid i ni weithredu nawr i sicrhau pan fydd y pandemig wedi dod i ben y bydd gennym ni rwydwaith bysiau a rheilffordd sy’n galluogi i ni gyflawni’r uchelgais hwn.”

NHS staff will receive free travel on buses throughout Wales in return for hardship funding from the Welsh Government over the next 3 months, with free travel already available on Transport for Wales trains


Transport for Wales will receive additional funding support and a hardship fund has been set up to help bus companies as passenger numbers have fallen by up to 90% as passengers follow the stay\-at\-home rules in response to the coronavirus pandemic.


The combined support is worth up to £69 million.


Minister for Economy, Transport and North Wales Ken Skates said:



> “Demand for public transport has reduced significantly as people are following the new rules to stay at home to save lives and protect our NHS.
> 
> 
> “Our rail franchise provider, bus companies and community transport operators – many of which are small businesses and charities – are facing significant financial challenges.
> 
> 
> “This support will give public transport operators the initial funding they need to continue to deliver services, pay employees and sub\-contractors, while we work with them to develop a comprehensive package of measures to secure an efficient, sustainable, and robust bus network.”


The bus hardship fund will be paid monthly up\-front for up to 3 months and will temporarily replace existing grant funding provided through the bus services support grant, mandatory concessionary fares and MyTravelPass in the normal course of business.


In return for financial support from the Welsh Government, bus companies will need to commit to continue to provide a timetabled service and all NHS staff will receive free travel. Transport for Wales is already offering free travel for NHS staff on its services.


The Minister has also confirmed that, while the stay\-at\-home rules are in place, free weekend travel on the Traws Cymru network has been suspended and the Cardiff to Anglesey Public Service Obligation (PSO) air service will also be suspended for three months.


Mr Skates added:



> “We are committed to creating a sustainable integrated public transport network across Wales. 
> 
> 
> “But our priority at the moment is to protect the public, people working on public transport and our NHS. We must act now to ensure when the pandemic is over, we will have a bus and rail network to allow us to achieve this ambition.”
