🚍 Travelling beyond Cardiff? Standard adult singles to spots like Dinas Powys, Sully, or Barry now cost £2.90, with some routes to Barry priced at £3.20. If you’re making your way from Newport or the Vale of Glamorgan, plan for a single fare of £3.70.
🔖 Still, some good news! The app-exclusive school run ticket, valid for one adult and three kiddos, stays put at £6.50. Family and group ticket prices remain unchanged too!
