I noticed earlier this evening that NAT (New Adventure Travel) are introducing a new service, the X1, in Cardiff on 11th May. It's a Cross City service that will run from Culverhouse Cross to Pontprennau Asda via Ely, Canton, Cardiff city centre, Albany Road, Llanedeyrn and Pentwyn.
Running every fifteen minutes from 0600 to 2030, it will be operated with branded 15-reg Optare Versas. With a single journey priced at £1.60, a day ticket at £3 and a weekly ticket at £12, they are really going for the competition with Cardiff Bus (currently at £1.80 a single, £3.60 a day and £12 a week) and even at a slightly less but still respectful fifteen minute frequency compared with Cardiff Bus, I would even use them instead, although of course Cardiff Bus have been/will be the dominant operator in the capital.
This new route will go right past my house, and I shall be making use of it! Interesting bit of competition; I look forward to seeing what CB think!
