What Is Greenlinks Community Transport?

Greenlinks Community Transport is a community-run transport service operated in the Vale of Glamorgan.

It’s designed to help people who have difficulty using conventional public transport — such as older people, those with mobility issues, or people living in more rural areas.

On-Demand and Scheduled Transport

  • Passengers can book transport in advance (by 12:00pm one working day before travel) for door-to-door journeys.

  • There is a weekly “on-demand” bus route, for example Service G1, which runs between St Athan, Cowbridge, and Bridgend (plus surrounding villages).

  • This service is flexible, and pick-up times are confirmed a working day before, with some leeway (±10 minutes). Membership & Fares
