TPG have bought out OPT and foresight reduced holding making them 70% owner of Kinetic the parent company. Skybus is a small portion of that.

It's funny, I was talking to a family of 4 the other day, leaving the airport, they were off to get Skybus to the CBD, I informed them of the current price to the CBD with Didi and saved them around 50%
It's amazing that people automatically feel a bus would be cheaper and don't even think about alternative options.
Skybus pricing really can't increase more than what it is now; it has become so expensive that much of the time it's only worth catching, financially, if you are a solo traveller (depending on your final destination).
