A brand new free bus service for shoppers looking to get around Swansea city centre has launched. It's called the 'Shopper Hopper' a shuttle bus connecting the railway station in the north to the bus station in the south, stopping off at Swansea Market in between.
It's a Monday to Friday, 9am to 4.30pm service and it's designed to make it easier than ever for shoppers to get around the busy city centre.
The fully-accessible Shopper Hopper is a 15-seat minibus linking the three locations with the market drop-off point at the Whitewalls entrance. It means visitors to the city centre can get a free ride back to the bus station or train station so they can do their onward journeys more easily than before.
