Paying and tapping your card
Cardiff Bus adult Tap On Tap Off requires a tap at boarding and a tap at the exit reader. Use the same card or device for all journeys. Each person needs their own payment method; group tickets are a separate purchase.
How to buy a ticket
Buy tickets through the Cardiff Bus app or ask the driver and pay by cash or contactless. Bring the exact cash fare: drivers do not give change. Fare zones and service 30 to Newport have different conditions.
Finding the right fare
