Where can I use my student pass?

The  South Wales unirider is valid on all Stagecoach buses in South Wales, not just the bus you need to get to Uni. That means you can use it for days out too. Whether it's going to class, the shops, cinema or food and drinks. If you can get there by Stagecoach bus in your zone, you can get there with unirider!

Here’s a few ideas of some journeys you could make with your unirider...

• Fancy a day out in the hills? We have Service T4/T14 that takes you right to the heart of the Brecon Beacons. From the Storey Arms bus stop walks are available to the highest point in Southern Britain Penyfan. On a clear day you can see for miles right down to the Bristol Channel and as far north as Snowdonia!
