Cardiff Bus has announced its first fare increase in four years and scrapped several types of ticket. In a "very difficult decision", the operator announced the changes which will come into force from Sunday, April 9, 2023.
The increases affect adult and child tickets in Cardiff and Barry, and change the boundaries of these two zones and the cost of travelling between them. Some types of ticket, including short hop and the Pontprennau 57/58 return ticket, have been scrapped but replaced with new discounted fares.

In a statement, Cardiff Bus said: "From Sunday 9th April 2023, we are having to take the very difficult decision to increase our fares. This will be the first time any of our fares have changed in over 4 years. They were last changed in March 2019. In this time, we have seen costs increase to a level where we are now in a position that we have no option but to increase fares.
