A new TaithCymru coach service between Bangor and Carmarthen launches on Sunday 25 October, with 10 daily services from Monday to Saturday and a similar Sunday timetable. The route will call at Caernarfon, Porthmadog, Dolgellau, Machynlleth, Aberystwyth and Aberaeron, cutting journey times by more than an hour. A daily late-night extension will connect Bangor with Holyhead railway station and port for onward rail and ferry travel. Tickets can be booked online up to 15 minutes before departure, with a live tracker available through the TrawsCymru app. A typical adult fare from Bangor to Carmarthen is £10, while Aberystwyth to Carmarthen costs £4.50. The coaches feature Wi-Fi, reclining seats, air conditioning, toilets, cycle storage and wheelchair access, with one wheelchair space per coach. Aberaeron is currently not an accessible stop. The service forms part of wider plans to improve public transport links across Wales. https://media.service.gov.wales/news/new-bangor-carmarthen-coach-service-launched
