Oahu's THE BUS - Insider Tips

This info came from Stacey from the Oahu's Visitors Bureau. She is full of great ways to save money on your next visit to Oahu!

Oahu’s Public Bus
www.thebus.org
Bus fare: $2.25 each way, plus one transfer good for two hours
Bus passes are available at ABC stores in Waikiki
Exact change required
Insider tip: Purchase a 4-day bus pass at any ABC store for $25.00. Good for unlimited use for four consecutive days. This equates to $6.25 a day for unlimited use. * Great alternative for visitors between 18-24 years (since they can’t rent a car) and seniors.
Insider tip: thebus.org website has a listing of all major Oahu visitor attractions and their corresponding bus numbers and routes. The website also has a downloadable “Quick Reference Guide”.
For both, go to the website and click “visitors”. Then select either “attractions” or “quick reference guide”

FREE Hilo Hattie Trolley
Insider tip: Take the Hilo Hattie trolley to the Hilo Hattie store on Nimitz. Go to either Zippy’s or Sam Choy’s (across the street) for lunch and shop at Hilo Hattie. Return on the trolley to the Aloha Tower Marketplace or Ala Moana Center for more shopping. The trolley stops at the Aloha Tower or Ala Moana Center on the return trip to Waikiki.
