Ground transportation Bus From 2005 until 2007 there was a shuttle bus service connecting the airport to the city center and Semarang Old Town. However, due to protests from local airport taxi operators, this service was terminated. In 2013, Trans Semarang, a bus rapid transit (BRT) operator, started to serve Ahmad Yani Intl Airport. Only one route went through the airport but all the available routes are interconnected. The expected interval is 15 to 30 minutes between buses unless there is a traffic jam. Car and taxi There are Airport taxis provided and the reception available right in the arrival terminal. Some public taxis in Semarang can't take passengers in the airport terminal.
