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.
