What new bus service?
One of the great curses of our new bus system is that it seems to have been planned by people who never actually travel by public transport.
Can somebody explain to me why Ayia Napa and Paralimni are not included on this super new intercity service?
The Famagusta region accommodates thousands of tourists during the high season, in addition to many more thousands of retired residents – but what service to they get?
Two morning busses a day to Nicosia at 8am and 10am, returning at 3pm (not Sundays).
If you are lucky enough to get a seat and can conduct all you business or sightseeing within 5 hours – the existing antiquated service is perfect.
If you want to work in the city and leave the car at home – forget it.
A lot is going on promoting this new super service, but how can such massive omissions from the schedules be made.
Ayia Napa is also the one district not served by the airport shuttles service – why?
It is a mystery that tourists are not offered a frequent shuttle to Larnaca from pick up points in Ayia Napa and Protaras- any right thinking businessman could cash in on the demand.
Let’s get this straight – we are not talking about a big investment – just regular daytime service connecting to the capital.
