Do your buses have seat belts?
Absolutely. At Byron Bay Express we take the safety and comfort of our passengers and drivers incredibly seriously. That’s why every one of our shuttle buses is fitted with seat belts.
What can you bring on the bus?
Our buses are spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room for even larger items of luggage, including oversized objects like bikes and surfboards. And the best news? While lots of other shuttle services charge extra for items they consider to be ‘excess baggage’, we take a different approach. Basically, our motto is ‘if it fits, load it on!’
When asked whether there are any items passengers are prohibited from bringing on board, the short answer is no. We don’t place any restrictions on the items our passengers can bring onto the bus with them, with the exception of pets and alcohol.
Having said that, please let us know in advance if you intend to bring more than two items of luggage larger than a standard suitcase or backpack, more than one surfboard, or any surfboard measuring longer than eight feet.
What is the capacity of your buses?
We operate two different types of buses. Our larger vehicles can comfortably seat 20 passengers, while our smaller buses are designed to accommodate no more than 16.
