“This will be much more convenient for the inns,” Martin said.Ī big draw according to Martin, could be to Europeans who aren’t used to the style of Puget Sound transportation systems.
Loretta Martin, the Langley South Whidbey Chamber of Commerce executive director, said she feels the shuttle service will enhance the tourism experience. “I thought the price was wonderful,” she said. The lower price was an added incentive, she said. It will help get South Whidbey residents to the airport, but also by bringing in tourists and guests as well. MacCallum, who is the owner of Bells Beach Bed and Breakfast, said the shuttle could be a boost to local businesses - including her own. “That’s horrible,” MacCallum said about past experiences. No longer will she have to drag her luggage around on the ferry, and stand in the cold waiting for the Shuttle Express to pick her up at the Mukilteo Ferry Terminal. A round-trip ticket on Bellair Charters from Oak Harbor is also $60, Lauver pointed out, but takes a much greater amount of travel time because it goes through Mount Vernon.īarbara MacCallum, a passenger on the shuttle’s second day of service, was looking forward this week to starting her trip to Alaska on the right foot.

A round trip fare from Mukilteo on Shuttle Express is $64, plus the cost of a passenger ferry ticket. The round-trip fare from South Whidbey is $60 on the Whidbey SeaTac Shuttle. The shuttle advertises it will get passengers from South Whidbey to SeaTac in one hour and 30 minutes. What makes the Whidbey SeaTac Shuttle such a good idea, Lauver said, is the short time it takes to get back and forth to the airport, it makes no additional stops off their regular schedule and includes ferry fare in the price. “It took us quite a while to locate them for us,” Lauver said.Įach van can carry nine passengers, he said, and has first-on/first-off priority boarding, like vanpools, to ensure on-time arrivals and departures.
