Cheap New Fethiye - Dalaman Airport Shuttle Starts Operating

[Scunner]

Just 7.5 lira each way apparently! Up to 12 times a day in season, what's not to like...

Run by Mugla Council or so the article says at Fethiye Times

I bet the yellow cab drivers will be chuffed.   

looks like a good service.

Wow, sounds good!

I thought that there was a Havas bus that did the same route (or am I imagining things - again ?)

[Scunner]

I think it's called competition Kevin  

The one obvious negative is that the vast majority of flights from the UK land long after the last quoted bus time.

No, you're right.  The Havaş service is timed to meet the domestic arrivals from THY etc - it them goes round to international (for those that had to clear customs) before heading to Fethiye.  I dont use it much these days as it only goes as far as the otogar, previously (when it was the THY service bus) it went to Karagözler and dropped me 100m from the apartment.

Be fun and games if both are parked up outside domestic arrivals at the same time!

How much does the Havas bus cost these days ?

[nichola]

10tl Kevin and as John says it only runs to coincide with TA flights so not nearly as convenient as this new service is going to be.

Thanks Nichola - I can't open 'Fethiye Times' at work for some reason but have just read the full article at home

Also the bus goes from Dalaman to Fethiye, no mention of any stops on the way.
