The changes, which take effect from 7 April 2024, mean changes to timetables including more earlier journeys and the introduction of new late evening and night time services on two routes.

The bus operator have said that while anyone can use the Unibws services, not just students, they are also looking at further improvements to other services across the city.

In an online statement, First Cymru said: “We’re making some improvements to our UniBws services in Swansea following customer feedback.

“We’ll also be introducing two brand new services to better suit evening and nighttime demand across the City. We are in the process of registering changes to improve other services across Swansea, and we hope to provide further information soon. 

“These UniBws services aren’t just for students – everyone is able to use them! And remember, April also brings simplified fares and the introduction of Tap On, Tap Off on our entire network too!”
