Paying and tapping your card

Wales has multiple bus operators and separate rail PAYG zones. Do not assume a bank card can replace a ticket on every route.

How to buy a ticket

Check the actual bus or train operator for fares and ticket options; some flexible rural bus services require booking.

Finding the right fare

Check the linked operator for the fare on your chosen route and date. Compare single, return and day-ticket options where available; booking, baggage and reservation conditions can differ.

Take this with you

  • Check your last journey home, service updates and the exact boarding stop before travelling. Timetables can change at short notice.
