We introduced these changes because of the disruptions in the downtown area, so that travellers beginning their Airport journey from the hub are provided with a shorter, and significantly more certain Airport travel time.
Our tracking indicates that if we didn't adapt to the downtown disruptions, there would be significant time delays and uncertainty for travellers. Our shuttles are significantly faster and more agile than a full size bus in the face of roadworks and diversions. They leave every 10 minutes, meeting our Airport-bound buses at the new hub. Very rarely, travellers may wait ten minutes at both stops and we are sorry to hear you experienced this.
The shuttle service is one of the many solutions Skybus has introduced since launching in October. Our 'kids ride free' policy, free Wi-Fi on all buses, new ticketing app, discounted online fares, no excess luggage fees and expanded city-to-airport timetable (an extra 188 trips a week!) are proving popular with customers.
We hope you will consider Skybus for future travel and that you will have a better and more enjoyable experience.
