Skycar Fares

The Skycar outside the Millennium Centre

Our Skycar open top service runs from the National Museum, through the city centre (so you can see the slights of the castle & stadium as well as connecting to the shops) down to Cardiff Bay, home to Roald Dahl Plass, Wales Millennium Centre, Mermaid Quay and much more.

There's three ways to buy tickets for the Skycar, to make it a breeze:

  • Buy on Board the Skycar - see the bus and fancy a ride? You can buy all tickets on board with contactless or cash (but we can't give change, so please try to have exact fare ready!). Other services are unable to sell Skycar tickets, so if you're planning to catch another service first, download the Cardiff Bus app and purchase the ticket on there to get the best value for money.
  • Buy on the Cardiff Bus app - Skycar day tickets are available on the app, alongside timetable information and live tracking of buses, so it's a one-stop-shop for all you need for your journey! Skycar day tickets are valid on any Cardiff Bus service in Cardiff & Penarth, so buying on the app gets your the best value for money if you'd like to travel on other services first.
  • Using Tap on Tap Off - you can tap on & tap off as you travel with Cardiff Bus, and we'll automatically cap the far each day to the best value adult ticket. This includes the Skycar adult day ticket if you travel within Cardiff and Penarth.
