Getting Around
Car Driving will get you to remote corners of Wales not connected to public transport. Cars can be hired from the main
cities and the airports.
Bus The most useful form of public transport, with routes connecting most towns and villages. Many services don't run
on Sundays. National Express coaches only stop in major destinations.
Train The network isn't extensive, but it's handy for those towns connected to it. Trains are comfortable and reliable,
but more expensive than the buses.
