Thank you very much for this service! Is it possible to make the first bus start at 12:00 noon on Thursday, July 16? There are several flights departing in the afternoon and due to the high season, it is better to be at the airport well in-advance. Taking the bus at 2:00 pm will certainly cause us get nervous. I look forward to seeing your positive answer.

Good initiative, however this could have been announced at least a week earlier including Wed 15th as quite a few people leave mid-night Wednesday until mid-Saturday.

I never heard back on taxi sharing option being utilized. If that alternative is introduced then why not materialized with mutual gains (supplier and customer)?
