==History and redevelopment==
The bus station opened along with the Quadrant Shopping Centre in 1979,〔(A Timeline of Swansea )〕 replacing the old bus station opposite (next to the Grand Theatre). The bus station was becoming old and run down by the mid 2000s and plans were put forward by the local council to re-develop the site into a more modern bus facility.
In July 2008, it was announced that funding from the European Convergence programme was approved to help with the £11 million redevelopment of the station. On 1 August 2008 it was confirmed that work on the new bus station would begin in January 2009, but it was headlined in the ''South Wales Evening Post'' on 1 December 2008, that work would not start until May 2009. Work started on 13 June 2009〔http://www.swanseacitycentre.com/media/pdf/7/5/New_rangers_heading_for_city_bus_station_-_November_2010.pdf〕 and the newly built bus station opened on 6 December 2010. New retail units were built within the bus station building but opened on a later date.〔(This is South Wales - Swansea traders are all aboard timely opening of £10m bus station )〕 These units include a Greggs bakery, Costa Coffee and a Co-operative store.
