Most services stop at Perth Bus Station or Mill Street, just a short walk from the FlixBus stop. Routes like the 7, 9, and 16 connect key points like Perth Royal Infirmary, North Muirton, and Broxden Park & Ride.
• Public ferry (operational seasonally, typically from late spring to early autumn), the ferry connects the eastern riverbank near Moncreiffe Island to the city centre near Tay Street, allowing pedestrians and cyclists to avoid longer road detours. It’s ideal for those staying in or walking from the Bridgend or Kinnoull areas.

If you're staying anywhere between South Street and the North Inch, you're likely no more than a 10–15 minute walk from the FlixBus departure point. Once you’ve reached your stop, just scan your ticket and settle in for a relaxing ride south to the airport.
