Great App

Where would I be without this great app? Well, I’d be at a bus stop with no idea whether the next bus was on time, late or cancelled. Living in a city, where traffic congestion is endemic, the app allows me to see my options and plan in real time. How did we survive without it?

Reliable App

Always use this and have been for a long time. Very reliable for times and tickets.

Fraudsters £15 for one bus ticket

Cardiff bus are simple just stealing from customers today I’ve been charged nearly £15 for one day to go bus ticket.
This is not the first incident I’ve been doubled a number but triple charged is a first

Stay away from these thieves and fraudsters and use the Nat bus service

Timeline Updates

I really love the bus updates in respect of the arrival and departure timings. It’s really accurate. 👍🏿
