It’s easy to get around Cardiff by bus, linking your accommodation to campuses, shops and sports centres. There’s a city out there to explore, and the best way to get into the centre and about the bay is on our smart, modern, comfortable buses.
most student areas have buses every 5-10 minutes into the city
Although you can pay on the bus, you’ll get the best value buying tickets on your phone - day, weekly and 4 week tickets can be stored for whenever you want to use them. Download the iff app, then simply buy, show & off you go . . .
If you prefer, you can always buy tickets or top up your iff card at PayPoint facilities.
See the map inside for the main routes around student areas. There’s also a really useful guide to fares & frequencies.
