English: I think that buses have been a neglected part of our transport system, and they do carry a huge number of journeys. The figure I mentioned, to reiterate the social justice point, which I think is wort repeating - . The Transport for Wales surveys of bus users show that 78 per cent of people who travel by bus do not have access to a private car. I think that that is a staggering figure, which shows how important the bus network is for people who do not have an alternative. Too often we make assumptions when we're planning services - and Alun Davies mentioned the new hospital, the Grange, there - that people will simply hop into a car to get to it, but we know there are significant parts of our communities that that is not a realistic option for. We need to make sure that there is a quality alternative for people, which is desirable and entices people out of cars to use public transport. It's not something that's left just for people who don't have an alternative, but becomes the mode of choice for people for the majority of journeys that they make. That's entirely normal in other parts of Europe and it needs to become normal in our country, but we are some way from that at the moment. Just specifically on the issue of the question of the Grange, which Alun Davies has mentioned to me previously: I'm pleased to be able to confirm that the health board have now confirmed that there will be a public bus service to the site upon the hospital opening in November. Buses will drop off at a dedicated point at the new hospital. There will be a bus service between Newport via Caerleon, Ponthir and Cwmbran, which is also scheduled to stop in Newport and Cwmbran. And also, as I mentioned the demand-responsive service earlier, the Fflecsi, which we are looking to start in Blaenau Gwent, first of all with two service areas in Ebbw Fawr and Ebbw Fach - that also will be able to respond to people's flexible demands to be able to go to the hospital. So, I think there's more to do there, but I think that at least puts in the bones of a service to make sure that, when the hospital opens in November, there will be a bus route. Finally, the point on taxis is an important one, because I think I mentioned in the statement that one of the things we want to get to is a multimodal, strategic, planned network. Clearly, taxis are one of the modes - a public transport option that we need to see alongside buses, trains and active travel, to make sure they link up. That's something that's been hard to do, and that's something that we want to make sure that Transport for Wales has very firmly on its to-do list. Clearly, again, the aspiration to bring in legislation to reform taxis has also had to be delayed because of COVID, but that is also something that we're continuing to work on, should the next Welsh Government want to bring that forward.
Welsh: Rwy'n credu bod bysiau wedi cael eu hesgeuluso fel rhan o'n system drafnidiaeth ni, ac maen nhw wir yn gwneud llawer iawn o waith cario. Y ffigur a grybwyllais i, i ailadrodd y pwynt am gyfiawnder cymdeithasol, yr wyf i'n credu ei bod hi'n werth ei ailadrodd - . Mae arolygon Trafnidiaeth Cymru o ddefnyddwyr bysiau'n dangos nad oes car preifat ar gael i 78 y cant o bobl sy'n teithio ar fws. Rwy'n credu bod hwnnw'n ffigur syfrdanol, sy'n dangos pa mor bwysig yw'r rhwydwaith bysiau i bobl nad oes ganddyn nhw ddewis arall. Yn rhy aml rydym yn gwneud rhagdybiaethau pan fyddwn ni'n cynllunio gwasanaethau - ac fe soniodd Alun Davies am yr ysbyty newydd, y Grange, gynne - y bydd pobl yn neidio i'r car i fynd yno, ond fe wyddom fod yna rannau sylweddol o'n cymunedau ni nad yw hwnnw'n ddewis realistig iddyn nhw. Mae angen sicrhau bod dewis arall o safon ar gael i bobl, dewis sy'n ddymunol ac yn denu pobl allan o'u ceir i ddefnyddio trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus. Nid yw hwn yn rhywbeth sy'n unig ar gyfer pobl nad oes ganddynt ddewis arall, ond yn rhywbeth sy'n dod yn ffordd ddewisol i bobl ar gyfer y rhan fwyaf o deithiau. Mae hynny'n gwbl normal mewn rhannau eraill o Ewrop ac mae angen iddo fod yn normal yn ein gwlad ni, ond rydym yn bell ohoni ar hyn o bryd. Ar fater y Grange yn benodol, mae Alun Davies wedi crybwyll hyn wrthyf i o'r blaen: rwy'n falch o allu cadarnhau bod y bwrdd iechyd wedi cadarnhau erbyn hyn y bydd gwasanaeth bws cyhoeddus i'r safle pan fydd yr ysbyty'n agor ym mis Tachwedd. Fe fydd bysiau'n gollwng ar arhosfa benodol yn yr ysbyty newydd. Fe fydd gwasanaeth bws rhwng Casnewydd drwy Gaerllion, Ponthir a Chwmbrân, a fydd yn aros yng Nghasnewydd a Chwmbrân hefyd. Ac yn ogystal â hynny, fel y soniais yn gynharach am y gwasanaeth sy'n ymateb i'r galw, y Fflecsi, rydym yn bwriadu cychwyn arni gyda hyn ym Mlaenau Gwent, gyda dwy ardal o wasanaeth yng Nglynebwy Fawr a Glynebwy Fach yn gyntaf - a fydd yn gallu ymateb hefyd i alwadau hyblyg pobl ar gyfer mynd i'r ysbyty. Felly, rwy'n credu bod mwy i'w wneud eto yn y fan honno, ond rwy'n credu ei fod o leiaf yn rhoi esgyrn gwasanaeth i sicrhau, pan fydd yr ysbyty'n agor ym mis Tachwedd, y bydd yno lwybr bws. Yn olaf, mae'r pwynt am dacsis yn un pwysig, oherwydd rwy'n credu imi grybwyll yn y datganiad mai un o'r pethau yr ydym yn dymuno ei gyflawni yw rhwydwaith amlddull, strategol, wedi ei gynllunio. Yn amlwg, mae tacsis yn un o'r dulliau hyn - dewis o drafnidiaeth gyhoeddus y mae angen inni ei weld ochr yn ochr â bysiau, trenau a theithio llesol, i sicrhau eu bod nhw'n cysylltu â'i gilydd. Mae hwnnw'n rhywbeth sydd wedi bod yn anodd ei wneud, ac mae'n rhywbeth yr ydym ni'n dymuno gwneud yn siŵr ei fod yn amlwg iawn ar restr gorchwylion Trafnidiaeth Cymru. Yn amlwg, unwaith eto, fe fu'n rhaid gohirio'r dyhead i gyflwyno deddfwriaeth i ddiwygio tacsis oherwydd COVID, ond mae hwnnw'n rhywbeth yr ydym ni'n parhau i weithio arno hefyd, pe byddai Llywodraeth nesaf Cymru yn dewis cyflwyno hynny.
