Bus transport in Cardiff, the capital and most populous city in Wales, forms the major part of the city's public transport network, which also includes water, air travel and an urban rail network. Cardiff is a major city of the United Kingdom and a centre of employment, retail, business, government, culture, media, sport and higher education.
Most of the city's comprehensive bus network is operated by Cardiff Bus, owned by Cardiff County Council. The main hub and terminus of the network is Cardiff Central bus station, also known as Central Station which closed for redevelopment in the autumn of 2015. Cardiff Bus also operates the X91 to Llantwit Major omitting the airport which is now served by the Traws Cymru T9 Route.
Other operators such as Stagecoach in South Wales and Newport Bus link the city with other urban areas in South Wales. TrawsCymru operates a long distance route to Aberystwyth, Cardiff Airport and West Wales, whereas National Express, Greyhound and Megabus operate long distance coaches to towns and cities throughout Wales, Scotland and England.
