English: Can I thank the Member for his questions? The point that the Member made concerning the availability of affordable public transport is, perhaps, the most important point made. I'm reminded of a pretty terrifying statistic from the Mersey-Dee area, where 20 per cent of young, unemployed people are unable to get to job interviews because they cannot afford public transport, or cannot access public transport in order to get to those interviews - too many young people, and that's in an urban area. Far too many young people are being shut out of the jobs market, because they cannot access opportunities to even be interviewed for jobs. So, I encourage anybody with an interest in breaking down that particular barrier to young people's employment to take part in the consultation that's taking place right now on youth concessionary fares. But more needs to be done and will be done. I think deregulation in 1986 was nothing short of a disaster for local bus services across Wales and the rest of Britain, but next year, reforms will be brought forward and radical change will be proposed to make bus services better serve the people of Wales, rather than profit motive. The Member rightly asked whether I think enough financial resource is being invested in bus services across Wales right now to make them fit for purpose, fit for the passengers that they are meant to serve. I'd say, 'yes'; I do believe that enough resource is being invested right now - something to the tune of £0.25 billion a year. There are approximately 100 million passenger journeys taken on bus services, so you can estimate how much is spent as a subsidy on each passenger. But what I think is essential is that we get more bang for our buck from bus services and that bus service providers do more to drive up the number of fare-paying passengers as well, to make themselves more sustainable. Are we taking a sufficiently holistic approach to integrating transport? I would suggest, until recently, perhaps not, but with the creation of Transport for Wales, with our determined focus on the creation of integrated travel, on active travel, I think we are heading in the right direction, but far more needs to be done, and I think in particular in the area of encouraging people to take up active travel alternatives to motor vehicles. We're revising the road safety framework to address one of the key concerns that particularly young people have in using active travel as an alternative to bus services or other forms of motor vehicles. It's quite telling that, up to secondary school, the majority of people will walk to school, whereas at secondary school they take a bus. Now, in many instances, schools are too far from homes for people to walk, but they're not necessarily too far to cycle. A major barrier is the fear, not just of those young people, but also the fear of their parents that they may not be safe on the roads. In order to address this, yes, more needs to be done in terms of educating young people and their parents, but also there needs to be better and more consistent training of young people in not just cycling safety and proficiency, but also in walking safety, as well. This is something that we are seeking to deliver through the newly revised road safety framework. This will cover all young people from the age of three to 16.
Welsh: A gaf i ddiolch i'r Aelod am ei gwestiynau? Y pwynt a wnaeth yr Aelod am argaeledd trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus fforddiadwy, efallai, yw'r pwynt pwysicaf un. Caf fy atgoffa o ystadegyn eithaf dychrynllyd o ardal Mersi a Dyfrdwy, lle mae 20 y cant o bobl ifanc ddi-waith yn methu â mynd i gyfweliadau swydd am nad ydynt yn gallu fforddio trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus, neu am nad oes trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus ar gael iddyn nhw i gyrraedd y cyfweliadau hynny - gormod o bobl ifanc, ac mae hynny mewn ardal drefol. Mae llawer gormod o bobl ifanc yn cael eu cau allan o'r farchnad swyddi, oherwydd na allan nhw hyd yn oed gael cyfleoedd i gael eu cyfweld am swyddi. Felly, rwy'n annog unrhyw un sydd â diddordeb mewn chwalu'r rhwystr penodol hwnnw rhag cyflogaeth i bobl ifanc i gymryd rhan yn yr ymgynghoriad sy'n digwydd ar hyn o bryd ar docynnau teithio rhatach i bobl ifanc. Ond mae angen gwneud mwy, a byddwn yn gwneud mwy. Rwy'n meddwl nad oedd dadreoleiddio yn 1986 yn ddim llai na thrychineb i wasanaethau bws lleol ledled Cymru a gweddill Prydain, ond y flwyddyn nesaf, caiff diwygiadau eu cyflwyno a chaiff newid radical ei gynnig i sicrhau bod gwasanaethau bysiau'n gwasanaethu pobl Cymru yn well, yn hytrach na'r cymhelliad i wneud elw. Gofynnodd yr Aelod yn ddigon teg a wyf yn meddwl bod digon o adnoddau ariannol yn cael eu buddsoddi mewn gwasanaethau bysiau ledled Cymru ar hyn o bryd i'w gwneud yn addas at eu diben, yn addas i'r teithwyr y maen nhw i fod i'w gwasanaethu. Byddwn i'n dweud, 'oes'; rwy'n credu bod digon o adnoddau'n cael eu buddsoddi ar hyn o bryd - o gwmpas £0.25 biliwn y flwyddyn. Mae tua 100 miliwn o deithiau teithwyr yn cael eu cymryd ar wasanaethau bysiau, felly gallwch chi amcangyfrif faint sy'n cael ei wario fel cymhorthdal i bob teithiwr. Ond yr hyn yr wyf i'n meddwl ei fod yn hanfodol yw ein bod yn cael mwy o werth am ein harian o wasanaethau bysiau a bod darparwyr gwasanaethau bysiau'n gwneud mwy i gynyddu nifer y teithwyr sy'n talu hefyd, i'w gwneud eu hunain yn fwy cynaliadwy. A ydym ni'n cymryd ymagwedd ddigon cyfannol at integreiddio trafnidiaeth? Byddwn yn awgrymu, hyd yn ddiweddar, efallai nad ydym, ond ers creu Trafnidiaeth Cymru, gyda'n pwyslais penderfynol ar greu teithio integredig, ar deithio llesol, rwy'n meddwl ein bod yn mynd i'r cyfeiriad cywir, ond mae angen gwneud llawer mwy, ac rwy'n meddwl yn enwedig ym maes annog pobl i fanteisio ar ddewisiadau teithio llesol yn lle cerbydau modur. Rydym ni'n adolygu'r fframwaith diogelwch ffyrdd i roi sylw i un o'r pryderon allweddol sydd gan bobl ifanc yn enwedig ynglŷn â defnyddio teithio llesol fel dewis amgen i wasanaethau bysiau neu fathau eraill o gerbydau modur. Mae'n eithaf arwyddocaol, hyd at ysgol uwchradd, y bydd y rhan fwyaf o bobl yn cerdded i'r ysgol, ac yn yr ysgol uwchradd eu bod yn mynd ar fws. Nawr, mewn llawer o achosion, mae ysgolion yn rhy bell o gartrefi i bobl gerdded, ond dydyn nhw ddim o reidrwydd yn rhy bell i feicio. Un rhwystr mawr yw'r ofn - nid dim ond ofn y bobl ifanc, ond hefyd ofn eu rhieni na fyddan nhw'n ddiogel ar y ffyrdd. Er mwyn ymdrin â hyn, oes, mae angen gwneud mwy i addysgu pobl ifanc a'u rhieni, ond hefyd mae angen hyfforddi pobl ifanc yn well ac yn fwy cyson nid dim ond ynglŷn â diogelwch a hyfedredd beicio, ond hefyd diogelwch wrth gerdded. Mae hyn yn rhywbeth yr ydym ni'n ceisio ei gyflawni drwy'r fframwaith diogelwch ffyrdd newydd diwygiedig. Bydd hyn yn cwmpasu pob person ifanc rhwng tair ac 16 oed.
