Portland Port has set out the importance of shuttle buses for its cruise ship business and the £10m it brings to south Dorset. Its complimentary service – upon which the port spends hundreds of thousands of pounds each year - takes passengers directly from the port quayside to Weymouth town centre where they are dropped off behind Hope Square.
