Also from Garden Street, there is a regular half-hourly service, served by First Cymru's route 100 'Shuttle' bus from Swansea bus station to Bridgend Designer Outlet and Cardiff Central Station or Cardiff Bay. Three baysdubious are located on Wellington Street on the south side for use by charter buses.

Future plans
