Travelers arriving at Edinburgh Airport now have access to direct bus services connecting them with several towns throughout Fife. These routes, including the JET747 and the recently introduced JET787, provide frequent and reliable transport options running throughout the day and into the evening. The buses operate from the airport’s dedicated stands and serve key Park & Ride locations and towns in Fife, helping to simplify onward travel.

The JET747 service links Edinburgh Airport with central Fife points such as Halbeath, Inverkeithing Rail Station, and Ferrytoll Park & Ride. The JET787 service expands the connection to include towns such as St Andrews, Cupar, Auchtermuchty, and the Kinross Park & Ride, broadening travel options for passengers. Both routes are designed to make fewer stops, which reduces travel times and offers passengers a more direct connection from the airport to their final destinations.

 

Visitors to St Andrews have the chance to explore the historic university, take a walk along the famous West Sands Beach, or see the remains of St Andrews Cathedral. Golf lovers can explore the Old Course, one of the most famous golf courses in the world. Cupar offers visitors the chance to see the Hill of Tarvit mansion, a historic Edwardian home overseen by the National Trust for Scotland, alongside its lively markets and quaint cafés.

The JET787 also opens access to Kinross and the scenic Loch Leven Heritage Trail, a 13-mile walking and cycling route circling the loch with stunning views and birdwatching opportunities. Travelers have the opportunity to take a boat ride out to Loch Leven Castle, known as the place where Mary Queen of Scots was held captive. In Auchtermuchty, fans of Scottish folk music can explore the hometown of The Proclaimers, or enjoy nature walks around Pitmedden Forest and local countryside paths.

These updated bus routes represent an important move toward better linking Edinburgh Airport with towns and attractions across Fife. With regular and straightforward services, journeys become quicker and less complicated, turning public transport into a sensible, affordable choice. For passengers arriving at the airport and heading into Fife, this expanded network offers a more seamless and sustainable travel experience.
