What if the bus is full?

Popular departures can sell out around weekends, holidays, and late afternoon travel. If the next bus is full, ask at the counter for the following departure and compare bookable alternatives before you move to another station.

After the last bus

After the last scheduled bus, your realistic choices are usually a taxi, private transfer, or waiting until the next morning. For airport routes, avoid relying on the final bus before a flight and compare alternatives early.

Bus vs taxi vs private transfer

The bus is usually the cheapest choice. Taxi and private transfer cost more, but they can be easier with luggage, late arrivals, or hotel-to-hotel travel. Always confirm the final price, tolls, pickup point, and luggage space before you go.
