Travel in and Around Aberystwyth

Getting Around Town

Town centre attractions and shops are close together and within easy walking distance, but you may wish to use buses, taxis or a car to reach the outer edges of the town and the university campuses.

Town Buses

Local buses use the bus station in Alexandra Road and operate during the daytime Mondays to Saturdays, along with some limited evening and Sunday services. Always check bus times on Traveline before travelling, as information displayed at bus stops is very poor.
