Stagecoach in South Wales Managing Director Nigel Winter said: "24 million customers a year choose to travel on our buses. That's a big responsibility.

We know that there can be issues which affect our customers' journeys. It can be things we control ourselves or issues like congestion where we need the support of other partners.

That's why we are always looking at how we can deliver even better services for people who travel with us, whether that’s before, during or after the journey, We've got a great team of frontline staff at South Wales. I'm very proud of the focus they give on providing customers with a good travel experience and getting them to their destination safely.

National Customer Service Week is a great opportunity to showcase the commitment we have to customer service all year around. It also gives customers the chance to speak directly to us and share their thoughts about what we’re doing well and how we can do even better.”
