School Run
We know that the school-run is a time where lots of short journeys are made that adds pressure to the road network. Listening to customers, we have introduced an app exclusive 'School-Run' ticket to help make the journey as easy as possible - and great value!
For just £6.50 one adult and up to three children* can have unlimited travel across Cardiff, Llandough and Penarth on school days between 07:00 and 19:00. The ticket is also valid when the adult is travelling alone, so ideal for getting back home or to the shops or work between the school runs.
You can find this ticket in the family & group tickets section of our app.
