PHUKET: The campaign to start three new bus routes from Phuket international Airport is going ahead, a meeting of honorary consuls heard this week.
The buses on the three services would run from Phuket airport and terminate in Kamala, Kata-Karon and Rawai, Phuket Land Transport chief Terayoot Prasertphol told the gathering with administrators at Phuket Provincial Hall in Phuket City.
''The cost will be between 80 baht and 120 baht, depending on the distance travelled,'' he said.
''The aim will be to have between four and six buses operating on each of the routes.''
Khun Terayoot said that the new routes would be in addition to the existing bus service that runs between Phuket City and Phuket airport each hour.
Tenders for the services will be invited from the first week in October and close after 45 days, he said.
The routes could be in action early in the new year, he said.
The present Phuket airport to Phuket City bus service costs 80 baht and terminates at the old bus station.
