Skybus restarting Frankston service

SKYBUS will begin running its “peninsula express” buses to the airport from next week.

SkyBus will be picking up passengers from Frankston, Chelsea, Mordialloc, Mentone, Moorabbin, Brighton, and Elsternwick on its way to the airport. The bayside bus service runs from 4 December onwards.

The bus route has been suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic. SkyBus co-CEO Michael Sewards said he was “delighted” to announce its return. “We had to make some tough but necessary decisions at the onset of COVID to suspend some of our express services and this impacted the lives of many of our team who have helped us build SkyBus to what people know and love today, and who are part of the SkyBus family,” he said. “We thank our loyal customers in Melbourne’s south-east for their patience and support over the last two years and are thrilled to once again offer them a service which makes travel to and from Melbourne Airport cheaper, easier and hassle free.”

The SkyBus peninsula express service operates every 90 minutes, with 13 return services on weekdays between 4:15am and 11:30pm, and nine return services on weekends between 5am and 7:30pm.
