Editor’s Note

If you're travelling with light luggage and either solo or in a couple, taking the bus is a great budget transfer option. However, if you're travelling in a group or with lots of luggage, I recommend taking a taxi or private car instead.

Useful Tips

Most Global buses look the same, so be sure to look for the one with 66 written in lights on the front.

Make sure you purchase your ticket before getting on the bus as you will need to present it to your driver.
