Ticket and Fare Options

For most travel itineraries, except the shortest, it is best to buy an all day ticket, available from the driver on the bus. Train tickets must be bought at the station; if the ticket office is close; buy them from the train conductor on board. For some itineraries, we have suggested Plus Bus; these are bus tickets sold at train stations and allowing all day bus travel within defined areas from destination train station.

First Cymru buses have a series of day rover tickets for the area, as follows:

First Day Swansea City for unlimited travel for a day within the city boundaries, also to Mumbles and Pennard
£4.00 adult; £2.80 child; £8.50 family of four.

First Day Swansea Bay for unlimited travel for a day in the wider Swansea Bay area including all of Gower and most of the Valleys of Neath Port Talbot, Mumbles and Pennard.
£4.40 adult; £2.80 child; £9.00 family of four.

Weekly versions of both tickets are available.

First Single & Return tickets are usually cheaper for journeys under about 5 miles.

Veolia Transport Cymru buses on route X63 will sell the Powys Day Rover at £7.50 adult (£5.00 child) giving unlimited travel in a day along the entire route and onward connections from Brecon to Storey Arms for Pen y Fan; Abergavenny, Talgarth, Hay on Wye & Builth Wells all on the same ticket

Train tickets are available at Swansea railway station; there is a range of very good value day return tickets between Swansea Neath, Port Talbot, Bridgend and Cardiff.


Train Plus Bus tickets: If you are travelling to the Vale of Neath or Dulais Valley using the train from Swansea to Neath, for the Vale of Neath or Dulais Valley, buy a Neath Plus Bus;  or via Port Talbot for Margam Park, Bryn or the Afan Valley, buy a Port Talbot Plus Bus  with your train ticket.
