The No. 1 Shuttle in St Andrews
The Shuttle is a collaboration between some of St Andrews’ most established and reputable taxi firms and operators providing affordable and reliable links between St Andrews, Edinburgh Airport and Leuchars train Station, ensuring smooth and timely journeys for all travellers. With modern vehicles and experienced drivers, we offer the cheapest rates for stress-free travel.
The Shuttle has been set up as a collaboration between long-established, reputable taxi operators in St Andrews to offer the most affordable and competitive service as well as the only fully regulated shuttle provider in St Andrews. The collaboration has been organised by M & S Taxi and St Andrews Taxis.
With The Shuttle, all drivers have been vetted by Police Scotland and Fife Council (local government authority). Additionally, many of our drivers have Enhanced Disclosure Checks, which allows us officially to carry children and vulnerable adults.
Because we are all officially licensed taxi operators, our vehicles have to be maintained to a much higher standard than private shuttle operators. they have to undergo an annual taxi test by the local government authority, Fife Council, which is 75% more rigorous than an MOT, as well as being subject to spot checks. This means our available vehicles are required to be maintained to the highest of standards.
