Gower Explorer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Gower Explorer is a bus service operated by Veolia Transport Cymru and provides services to Gowerton, Horton, Llangennith, Llanmadoc, Llanrhidian, Oxwich, Penclawdd, Port Eynon, Reynoldston and Rhossili.

The service was launched in 2004 thanks to a £575,500 transport grant from the Welsh Assembly Government. Swansea Council used this grant to buy a fleet of six buses - four larger ones for the main routes and two small ones for the peninsula's tricky narrow lanes.
