A new initiative aimed at promoting local transportation in Phuket got into gear yesterday, offering 1,500 free passes to qualifying travellers who choose to take the Phuket Smart Bus, on the airport to Rawai route. The campaign, granted by the Phuket office of the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), is set to run until the end of this month.
The ticket for such a ride is typically valued at 100 baht (US$3), and each passenger is permitted just one free trip within the confines of this offer. The promotion caters particularly to those tourists travelling from Bangkok to Phuket via air, with the offer open regardless of the airline chosen for the intercity journey.
From the airport, the Phuket Smart Bus makes stops at various notable points across the city, such as Cherng Talay, Bang Tao, Surin, Kamala, Patong, Karon, Kata, Promthep Cape, and Rawai.
