Honolulu Bus System

[Killian]

I am having a hard time deciding if we should rent a car or take the bus in Honolulu. I have read that the city has a great bus system and is highly recommended especially since traffic and parking can be a real problem. But since we will be docked in Honolulu on a Sunday would it be better to rent a car? Are the traffic problems more of a weekday occurrence?

We just returned from Honolulu and found that heavy traffic is not limited to weekdays. We found that weekends are just as bad. We took a taxi from HHV to the pier and it cost us $17.00.

 

You didn't mention where you wanted to go in Honolulu and how long you will be staying. If you have a few days and want to see more of the island, I would recommend that you rent a car. Car rental rates are very reasonable and there's so much to see. National Rent a car will pick up from the pier and bring you to their Ala Moana office, you can also return the car to the airport at no extra charge.

I can't drive so I have to rely on public transport and I had no problems with the bus service in Oahu. Their web address is thebus.org

Thanks for the information! We will be there almost a full two days...and will be disembarking on the second day. Top of our list is Pearl Harbor and Waikiki Beach. I like the idea of National letting us drop the car off at the airport...might be a good way to go.
