Bydd estyniad o 6 mis i’r prosiect peilot presennol yn sicrhau y gall Llywodraeth Cymru asesu’n well anghenion a phatrymau teithio cwsmeriaid, gan gymryd i ystyriaeth tymor ymwelwyr yr haf a thu hwnt, cyn gwneud penderfyniad tymor hir ynghylch y gwasanaeth. 

Dywedodd Ken Skates:


> “Pan gyflwynon ni wasanaeth y T1C ychydig lai na chwe mis yn ôl, ein bwriad oedd hwyluso teithiau bws uniongyrchol rhwng y Gorllewin a Chaerdydd. Rydyn ni wedi gweld ers hynny bod y gwasanaeth hwn wedi’i ddefnyddio gan amrywiaeth o grwpiau ac unigolion gan gynnwys myfyrwyr, siopwyr ac ymwelwyr. 
> 
> “Ar yr un pryd, fodd bynnag, rydyn ni wedi bod yn hollol agored nad yw’r gwasanaeth yr un mor boblogaidd ag yr oedden ni'n ei ddisgwyl.  Y rheswm am hyn, efallai, yw bod Stagecoach Megabus wedi cyflwyno gwasanaeth masnachol yn gynharach eleni sy’n cynnwys yr un daith i raddau helaeth, er bod eithriadau pwysig. 
> 
> O gofio hyn, credaf fod gwerth mawr mewn estyn y prosiect treialu am 6 mis arall. Bydd hyn yn sicrhau y bydd unrhyw benderfyniad tymor hir ynghylch dyfodol y gwasanaeth yn cael ei wneud ar sail data blwyddyn gron. Hefyd, bydd modd inni barhau i siarad â theithwyr, cwmnïau bysiau, cynghorau a grwpiau eraill am y gwasanaeth yr hoffent ei weld a’r ffordd orau o’i sicrhau.

> “Dw i wrth fy modd bod ein gwasanaeth Traws Cymru yn parhau i gynnig teithiau bws rheolaidd i gymunedau ledled Cymru a fyddai fel arall heb ddewis o drafnidiaeth gyhoeddus. Dwi’n falch o gyhoeddi y bydd y T1C yn parhau i fod yn rhan o’r cynnig hwnnw tan o leiaf mis Rhagfyr."

Mae gwasanaeth T1C yn aros wrth bob safle bws rhwng Aberystwyth \- Aberaeron \- Llanbedr Pont Steffan a Chaerfyrddin ac wedyn yn aros wrth rai safleoedd rhwng Caerfyrddin a Chaerdydd drwy Gross Hands, Gorsaf Fysiau Abertawe a Phentref Manwerthu Pen\-y\-bont ar Ogwr.

The 6 month extension to the current pilot will allow the Welsh Government to better asses the needs and travel patterns of customers, taking account of the summer tourist season and beyond, before making a long term decision on the service. 

Ken Skates said:


> “When we introduced the T1C service a little under six months ago, we did so to facilitate direct bus travel between west Wales and Cardiff. We’ve since seen this service used by a variety of groups and individuals, from students to shoppers to holiday goers. 
> 
> “At the same time, however, we have made no secret that the service is not as popular as we might have expected. This can perhaps be explained by the introduction of a commercial service run by Stagecoach Megabus earlier this year covering largely the same route, albeit with notable exceptions. 
> 
> “Given this, I think there is great merit in extending the pilot for another 6 months. This will ensure any long term decision on the future of the service is made with a full year of data, whilst allowing us to continue to talk to passenger groups, bus operators, councils and interested parties about the service they would like to see and how best to achieve it.
> 
> “I’m delighted that our Traws Cymru service continues to offer regular bus travel to communities across Wales who might otherwise be without the option of public transport. I’m pleased to announce that the T1C will continue to be part of that offering until at least December.”

T1C service stops at all stops between Aberystwyth \- Aberearon \- Lampeter and Carmarthen and then operates limited stops between Carmarthen and Cardiff via Cross Hands, Swansea Bus Station and Bridgend Outlet Village.
