The Seville Airport Bus From and To SVQ Airport
The only public transit mode connecting Seville Airport to the city center is the bus. Convenient and affordable, the bus is widely preferred mostly by passengers on a tight budget. Verily, the AE (Especial Aeropuerto) Line travels from and to San Pablo Airport, linking the airport with every part of the city, with stops on its east, central, and west sides.
The AE Seville Airport Bus
The Tussam (Urban transports of Seville Municipal Corporation) company handles the bus lines serving the city of Seville. As far as connections from and to the airport are concerned, they are served by the AE Line (Especial Aeropuerto). Hence, the bus departs from San Pablo Airport and heads to the west side of Seville making several stops on its way. Thus, it calls at around the main train station (Santa Justa Station) and continues its way to downtown Seville. Paseo de Las Delicias and Marques de Paradas are two of its most central stops. Finally, its terminus lies at Plaza de Armas Bus Station.
The Seville Airport Bus Schedule
The AE Bus needs around 46 minutes to travel from SVQ Airport to its terminus, at Plaza de Armas Bus Station. It runs from 05:20 am to 01:00 am from the airport both on weekdays and during weekends and holidays. In contrast, it departs from Plaza de Armas from 04:30 am to 00:05 am heading to Seville Airport. Overall, AE operates at a 15-minute frequency. Expectantly, its routes are scarcer during the night and in the early morning hours.
