BYRON EASY BUS is now offering a dedicated service across the Tweed Shire known as Tweed Coast Airport Connect, with a door-to-door pick up services that can transfer residents and visitors to Gold Coast Airport or even Brisbane Airport.
The best news is the price with rates as low as $28 per adult ($20 per child) from Kingscliff to Gold Coast Airport and only $38 from Kingscliff to Brisbane (Roma Street).
Tweed Coast Airport Connect is a new service that came about due to a lack of affordable transport to the Gold Coast Airport and Brisbane Airport from the Tweed Coast.
Byron Easy Bus has been operating for more than 12 years, providing airport transfers from Byron Shire to Ballina, Gold Coast and Brisbane airports plus Brisbane Transit Centre, but have now entered the Tweed market as Tweed Coast Airport Connect.
Founder Ron King has years of experience in coach operations and his father started AAT Kings Coach Tours in the Northern Territory and Ron was also Managing Director of Ansett Pioneer Coaches for many years.
“Even though it’s closer than Byron Shire, residents and visitors have had to rely on taxis and Ubers or Limousine transfers,” Mr King said.
“This new service offers door-to-door transfers from resident’s homes or from visitor’s accommodation to the airports or Brisbane CBD.
“There is a shuttle timetable available with four return services a day to Gold Coast Airport and four services a day to Brisbane and three services a day from Brisbane.
“Fares start at $28 per person.”
Tweed Coast Airport Connect driver Damien Renaux (pictured above) is a friendly French driver who hopes the new Tweed service will become established and he can get to know the residents of the Tweed Coast.
“Damien loves Australia and has made it his home and he hopes to help build up the Tweed Coast Airport Connect service and expand the services even further if it is supported and viable, perhaps even to service Murwillumbah and the Tweed Valley,” Byron Easy Bus Marketing Manager Kristina Drapes said.
“A shuttle bus to or from Gold Coast Airport represents a fast and inexpensive alternative to car rentals or parking at the airport.”
