The station on the Mid Wales Railway line that served the town was closed on 31 December 1962.
The nearest station is now 9 miles away, at Pen-y-Bont railway station, Crossgates on the Heart of Wales Line, though connections are usually made at the more accessible Llandrindod railway station a similar distance away.

A bus service connects with outlying villages and neighbouring towns, with two-hourly daytime departures to Builth Wells, Llandrindod Wells, Aberystwyth and Newtown, with connections to Hereford, Shrewsbury and Cardiff.

Due to the volume of traffic generated by the convergence of two trunk roads, the construction of a bypass to relieve congestion at the town centre crossroads has been an ongoing debate for many years.

The town is also a popular cycling centre and is on Route 8 of the United Kingdom National Cycle Network - Lôn Las Cymru.
