The Welsh Government has announced that young people will be able to travel on buses for £1 from September.
Single fares will cost £1, with £3 day passes also available.
From September the rate will apply to 16 to 21-year-olds, with the scheme extended to 5 to 15-year-olds from November.
Speaking at the launch event at Newport Bus Station, First Minister, Eluned Morgan will say: "Cutting the cost of travel for young people and providing better transport for all is one of our top priorities. We are delivering our promises to young people across Wales.
"This investment will make a real difference to communities all over Wales, but especially in rural areas."
Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales, Ken Skates will say: "I am delighted to be launching a scheme that offers affordable bus travel for young people to help them access education, training, employment, and leisure, as well as supporting our efforts to encourage more people to use public transport, reduce carbon emissions and tackle poverty.
"As we approach the summer holidays, I want to encourage all those who haven’t signed up for a free mytravelpass to do so from the 21 July, this will mean they can take advantage of £1 bus fares from 1 September.
"I’m also pleased we will be able to extend the scheme to 5 to 15-years-olds from November."
