Wales' bus network has recovered slower post-Covid than any other nation in Great Britain, a Senedd report has said.
Passenger numbers in Wales in the year to March 2024 were 78.3% of the levels before the pandemic – lagging behind both England and Scotland.
The figures have been blamed on fewer older people using concessionary fare passes.
Members of the Senedd's climate change committee urged Welsh government ministers to get to the bottom of the issue. The Welsh government said it would study the report.
Transport for Wales (TFW) said recently published plans to bring buses under public control would "allow us to really focus on providing an integrated public transport network that works for the people of Wales".
