Cardiff Bus Interchange

Operated by Transport for Wales, the interchange is a centralised hub with 14 bus bays. It offers better connections to and between different transport modes including bus, rail, walking, cycling and wheeling. It’ll help us better meet the transport needs of people and businesses across the city and the region.

The interchange is part of our wider plan for ‘Metro Central’, an integrated transport hub that allows easy use and access to all modes of public transport on a ‘turn up and go’ basis in the heart of Cardiff.
