tango55 Posted October 23, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Hi there. Just wondering if there is a transit system in Galveston? We will be staying there for a couple of days post cruise, in January and wondering if we will have to take taxis everywhere or if there is a transit system. Thanks in advance!

Galveston Cruiser Posted October 23, 2013 #4 Share Posted October 23, 2013 There is no trolley service on the Island, only buses. Depending on where you are staying, your best mode of transportation will be by taxi. Nothing is very far (Seawall to downtown) so won't be expensive.

ssb Posted October 24, 2013 #6 Share Posted October 24, 2013 The major better hotels have limobuses that will take you to major restaurants and tourist destinations. Tremont Galvez San Luis and Moody Gardens all have buses. Call your hotel and ask for clarification on nature and extent of service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkSeattle Posted October 25, 2013 #10 Share Posted October 25, 2013 THank you but it's the Bayport cruise port in Houston they can't find. I have the address for it but when I put it in it says couldn't find Terry It's actually in Pasadena. You really need a rental car if you're arriving in Houston, then spending a couple of days in Galveston, then departing HOU or IAH. It will also make getting around the island much easier, especially if you want to go to Seawolf, Moody Gardens and some of the beaches or locations away from the strand/Galveston port.

Chmie Posted October 25, 2013 #11 Share Posted October 25, 2013 We drove around Galveston during our stay last summer and found it really easy to get around. Consider renting a car as an alternative to taxis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
