People in Swansea will be able to travel for free on buses operating within the Swansea Council area on 13 dates throughout the school summer holidays. The free travel offer applies to all journeys that start and finish within the council area.
Free Travel Dates
The 13 days of free bus travel are: July 25, July 26, August 1, August 2, August 8, August 9, August 15, August 16, August 22, August 23, August 29, August 30 and August 31. On July 25, to support the Wales Airshow's new Saturday night Afterburn programme, free bus travel will be extended until 11pm. On all other participating days, free travel will continue until the usual 7pm finish.
Scheme Popularity
Now entering its sixth year, the free bus scheme has become one of Swansea's most popular summer offers. Since launching in 2021, passengers have made well over one million journeys.
Council leader Rob Stewart said: "The Wales Airshow is one of the highlights of the summer and we want as many families as possible to enjoy it. By extending free bus travel until 11pm on the first Saturday of the summer free bus initiative, people can enjoy the full day and evening programme without worrying about parking, traffic or the cost of getting home. The school holidays can be an expensive time, so every saving helps. A family of four can save around £20 on a single journey, leaving more money to spend on enjoying the day."
