To rub insult in, On the Hoppa the driver charged me for 3 tickets when I asked for 2, this due to him taking my card and swiping it 3 times as it didn’t work for me! Another Hoppa out of service arrived, but driver was not helpful and said they run every hour not every 30mins and we were disturbing her break she was most put out in us asking her! We telephoned the customers service and was told a Hoppa would be there at 8am.

I waited from 7am in the freezing cold, but no bus appeared checked the timetable which showed next bus at 0730am again bus did not appear temp at that time -1C. Want more from MyLondon?

Oyster cards and Travelcards are not accepted on the Hotel Hoppa services but there are some ticket price discounts available on its website with the option of 'Family' tickets. A two mile return trip between Terminal 3/Central Bus Station and the hotel takes around 12 minutes via both options - the price being a key differential. That hotel is also right next to a TfL bus stop where four daytime and two overnight TfL bus routes provide four to 20 buses per hour 24/7. Together the two routes provide two to three buses per hour between 5am and 11pm each day. Two of the seven Hotel Hoppa routes, H2A and H2C, provide a link between Terminal 3 and the Renaissance Hotel on Bath Road one mile away. Hotel Hoppa buses also have slightly more room for conveying luggage. The Hotel Hoppa and TfL's bus routes around the area are not like-for-like Hotel Hoppa buses are almost always quieter and stop directly outside hotels instead of on the street nearby. The Hotel Hoppa service bus stop at Terminal 5 may not have the premium presentation standards to match the premium fare (Image: Callum Marius) READ MORE: London buses: All the capital's bus routes which go along motorwaysĪs with many buses in the vicinity of Heathrow Airport, since Heathrow stopped subsidising a free-fare zone due to pandemic losses, many passengers are charged premium fares - the Hotel Hoppa is no exception - with single tickets purchased on the bus costing £6 and return tickets £11, almost four times the price of the equivalent TfL bus fare. The routes offer a near door-to-door service as many of them stop directly outside the hotel receptions.
#Hoppa bus heathrow airport series
The Heathrow Hotel Hoppa is a series of seven shuttle bus routes which link Heathrow Airport's terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5 with 34 different hotels on the airport perimeter roads. Regular passenger services can vary, but there is one example which sets a very high price for its service offering. Indeed, there is no limit on the maximum passenger fare for non-TfL bus fares within the capital.Īs you would expect, some tourist-focused sightseeing buses have understandably high fares although these are matched by a different customer experience, often with tour guides. Compared with non-TfL bus routes which operate in London, the higher fare is still relatively reasonable. The recent price increase of Transport for London (TfL)'s Hopper bus fare from £1.55 to £1.65 at the start of this month may have seem at little unfair.
