Getting to exams, stress-free

It’s exam season at Swansea University, and we’re here to make sure you can get to your exams smoothly. During this period, our bus services will operate on a revised timetable to accommodate the exam schedule. We've worked closely with Swansea University to make sure our buses go where they need to go at the times they're needed.

While we’ll aim to keep our app updated with the latest timetables, this page will always have the most accurate information to plan your journey. Our special exam timetables will operate from Sunday, 5th January 2025 to Saturday, 25th January 2025. Full term-time timetables will then resume normal operation from Sunday, 26th January 2025.

And remember a couple helpful tips for exam travel;

Plan ahead: Allow extra time for your journey, especially if the weather’s cold or icy. And remember to download the First Bus app or use our online journey planner.
Stay updated: Follow us on X (formerly Twitter) for live service updates.
Consider using the wider network: You don't have to just use our six UniBus services, check out our wider network of services if you're coming from further away or fancy exploring the surrounding area!
