Cardiff Bus will be changing a number of its timetables from September. Announcing the news, the operator said the changes will come into force from September 4, bringing an end to its current school summer holiday timetables.
A statement from Cardiff Bus said: "The new timetables restore the more typical service frequency seen before the school summer holidays. At the same time many routes will see new timetables, with many journeys retimed to better reflect the level of congestion, which is often unpredictable, that we continue to face."
It has provided an updated network map and guide to where you can catch buses in the city centre. Set out below are all the changes for each route and a preview of the new timetables.
