Bus to Split
The centre of Split can be reached from the airport by 2 different bus companies.
| Carrier | Travel time | Frequency | Ticket price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Line 37 (Promet Split) | 55 minutes | 10-20 minutes | 1,50 eur (via app) 3 eur (purchase from the driver) |
| Pleso Prijevoz | 35 minutes | 50-70 minutes | 8 eur |
Pleso Prijevoz
Pleso Prijevoz buses are the fastest form of public transport. In the centre of Split, the bus only stops at the main long-distance bus station near the train station and ferry port (location on google.com/maps). The bus doesn't stop anywhere else along the way, so the average journey time is only 30-40 minutes.
However, the connection is not very frequent and even in the summer season there is an average of 1 bus per hour, rarely two.
The timetable is always published about 14 days in advance and usually covers most flights. However, the last Pleso Prijevoz buses from the airport to the centre leave around 23:10, so they do not follow the late night arrivals.

Alternative taxi services, especially Uber, offer significantly lower prices. A trip to Split city centre from the airport (depending on peak times) costs from 22 eur to 35 eur.
