Farewell to SkyBus Theme Park Express
SkyBus Theme Park Express will cease operations effective Monday 1 July 2019.
Co-CEO and Director Michael Sewards said “We are globally renown for providing a world class airport mass transit service and the Theme Park service is not aligned to our core business. The Theme Parks will continue to be serviced by many other transport options and customers will not face a lack of choice when travelling to and from the Theme Parks.
We want to thank all our customers for their support on SkyBus Theme Park Express.”
SkyBus will continue to grow SkyBus Gold Coast Airport Shuttle and Byron Bay Express with service enhancements at the forefront of the strategy plan.

We want to grow and develop Byron Bay to create a seamless customer airport experience between Byron Bay and Gold Coast Airport. Mercato on Byron and Shirley Street stop locations are a huge step in the right direction to reaching this goal.”
