Cardiff Central bus station was the main bus transport interchange in the Cardiff city centre until it closed on 1 August 2015.[3] With 34 stands, it was the largest bus station in Wales. It was located adjacent to Cardiff Central railway station forming a major interchange. Construction of a new bus and transport interchange on the site of the former NCP multi-storey car park in Wood Street, adjacent to the old bus station, began in 2020 and was completed in spring 2024.[1][2]
The station used to handle the vast majority of bus and coach services that run in and through the city. Notable exceptions were Megabus services (which called at Kingsway and Cardiff University),[4] Stagecoach South Wales route 122 (which called at Greyfriars Road)[5] and EST route 89 (which used Customhouse Street).[6]
