<p>The Department has received Parliamentary questions and correspondence from public
and Parliamentarians about the introduction of part-time season tickets. We, of course,
continue to challenge the rail industry to develop proposals for pricing and delivering
more flexible ticketing options for those who work or commute part-time and progress
is being made by the industry. c2c have a Flexi-Season on a smart card. Arriva Trains
Wales have introduced a Mobile Multi-Flex product for customers in Cardiff and the
surrounding areas. In addition both the recently announced South Western and West
Midlands franchises include the announcement of a new flexible season ticket which
will benefit people working fewer than 5 days a week.</p>
