www.Parctel.com: More than 10,000 people are using the Nottingham Skylink bus every week according to new statistics released today (17 April 2007).
Passenger numbers have increased by more than 100% year-on-year, since the service was launched back in May 2004. Between 2 April 2006 and 25 March 2007, 425,481 customers travelled to and from East Midlands Airport on the Skylink, compared to 216,463 the previous year (05/06).
East Midlands Airport Bus Partnership Spokeswoman, Kelly McHugh said,
“We’re really pleased that the Nottingham Skylink service is doing so well. These new figures show that more people are choosing public transport as a good, environmentally friendly way of getting to and from the Airport. The service is also widely used by many people working at the Castle Donington site and being 24 hours means that more job opportunities are closer to employees who live in the city”.
Fares start at £5.00 per adult. Couples and groups of up to six people can purchase a family ticket priced at £8.00, or for unlimited travel on the tram and other Nottingham City Transport services to connect onto the Skylink, can purchase a Family Day Network ticket at £8.50*.
The Nottingham Skylink picks up in the city centre at Friar Lane and the railway station. You can also catch it along its route at Trent Bridge, Wilford Lane and Clifton.
