No stops on the way: it runs straight from the airport to the main bus station.

The ticket is valid for any departure on the day of travel, so a delayed flight catches the next bus.

Bus 37 costs EUR 2 bought through the Promet Split app, or EUR 4 from the driver, but takes 44 minutes and ends at the Sukoišan terminal, not the port.

In summer the buses fill up; buying online ahead is the operator's advice.

One catamaran a day. A missed 16:00 means the next morning's boat or the slow ferry to Stari Grad, which lands elsewhere on the island.

TP Line sells tickets on board only if seats are left; buy ahead in its shop.

The catamaran may dock at a different quay in bad weather; follow TP Line's notices.

The shuttle ends at the main bus station; the quay is a short walk along the waterfront.
