Joined up thinking

Perhaps if the SIC ran their bus service to Sumburgh airport and back more frequently, and perhaps put on an ‘express’ service, they might find more folk willing to use public transport and then less folk might need to use their own cars. (Airport car park full; SN, 17/10/14)

There is also room to extend the car parking on the perimeter if the airport show a bit of willing.

The airport being where it is will always mean that people from anywhere north of Lerwick (and that’s a lot of folk) will need to come in by car.

And the situation isn’t going to improve without some joined up thinking.
