A coach service is operated by Let's Go By Bus Örebro between the airport and Örebro Central, with services timed to coincide with the Ryanair flights to and from London-Stansted on Fridays and Sundays. Tickets can be bought on the bus or on the FlixBus website.^[7] The nearest public bus stop, (about 2 km away) has services to and from the centre of Örebro. It is served by bus 620 on weekdays and bus 600 at weekends.^[8] Other transport alternatives will likely involve a car or taxi.
