Visiting Honolulu next week and your video made me feel at ease. Your adventure looked like fun. Enjoy flying your drone. Saludos from Los Ángeles, CA ✌️

Awesome! Thank you!

From what I can understand the bus is mainly for local people rather than tourists (Arizona Memorial bus excepted of course). I was thinking of taking the bus to the North Shore until I saw that it had over 150 potential stops and takes about 3 hours from Waikiki!

@harrymiram6621 6 месяцев назад

Whoever fed you that info tidbit, has their wires crossed! On #52/Honolulu-Haleiwa, from Ala Moana SC-->90mins. On #60, same destination E-bound-->90-130mins

Thank for the bus tour short ? .In 1998 my son and I Won a trip to Hawaii and 1st day took the BUS to see what was out there we stopped with car on north side?And found a farm that sold fresh shrimp (cooked ) sat at the table and ATE the whole Bucket so yummy good. Then in 2000 went back with girl friend and did the same and went to the big island both time's fun trips ALOHA 🏆❤️🤔

We’ve taken the bus every time we visit waikiki... now one way$2.75 to waikiki from airport and its abt one hour ... we’be also used the bus to just ride and go all around d island... hotel parking is expensive at $35 a night so bus for us is the best and day pass if i recall is around $5 a day... yes bus is slow on wekeends...our fave poke place is in waikiki Maguro Brothers... Foodland is good as well

@LisaAndJosh 3 года назад

The bus is amazing. Lisa used to take it every day to and from work and the bus pass was her best friend. The day pass is $5 for the entire day, which is great deal! We also recently learned about the Holo card, which lets you pre-load your card and not have to use a paper pass anymore. www.holocard.net/ Mmm Maguro Brothers is so good! :D Thanks for watching and sharing!

Yes its really accessible but the only downsides are the bus stops if there was a security guard by every stop then ig itll be safer for riders AND drivers

" On time " 🚌 !!! WOW !! Excellent !! I am thinking about taking my mom to Wikiki & Oahu the next January for her birthday 🎂 celebration 🍾!!! My mom lived there briefly in her early 20's ! I've been to Hawaii w/ her & separately before 5 , 6 times total !! But,it's been a long time ever since !! I personally hate renting cars ( although I love driving & I am an excellent driver !! ) ,especially in a foreign country ,or a place I don't know so well & their traffic laws !! Lol .I have never driven there ! Driving in L.A.is enough for me ! Lol.She has developed a mobility issue ,so busses will be a good choice for her !! And it'll save my $$ !!

I know ! It's not for 1st timers ,or someone wanna go around the whole island ,or get the most ...,but busses are ways to get to a few locations at the cheapest expense on a day & people like us who have already been there before & just wanna get to a couple of specific destinations besides walking around & staying in one area mostly.Also ,busses allow us to do more sightseeing if we get the right seats !!

@lbguy888 3 года назад

Great video! I know the bus requires exact change, but can you buy multiple tickets at once for your family? That is, we want four day passes, which totals $22. Can I just pay $22, or do I have to pay $5.50 four times?

@LisaAndJosh 3 года назад

This is a good question - when Lisa and I bought our tickets, we just paid $11 to the machine on the bus and they gave us two tickets. I'm sure the bus driver would appreciate the simplicity of not doing 4 transactions :)

@elipandaman 3 года назад

They have a smart card now, the HOLO card, which takes care of this all for you - no exact change required! They're actually getting rid of paper tickets starting next month. One card per person is required, though.

Nice Video guys. I'm returning to the US in April since my Fiancé has to take her CPA exam, and she can't take it in Hong Kong.. I've been thinking about moving to Hawaii for a couple months.. and I've been wondering is it worth it to buy cheap car, or can I get buy just using the bus.

@LisaAndJosh 3 года назад

Thank you! You just gave me a great idea for a video... :) for us, now that we have a cheap car, it's a no brainer - having a car is totally, absolutely worth it. The bus just didn't work for us - it always took too long, wasn't running at the times we wanted it to, didn't go the areas we wanted to go to... we like to explore, so a car was for sure the right choice for us.

Which month usually?

@juneulufale4726 8 месяцев назад

I never tried it but always thought about catching the #60 which is the Kaneohe Circle Island bus which would get you to the north shore from town. From there you would have to transfer to the 52 or 51 to come back into the town area. It does seem like an all-day thing and something to plan ahead of time. I'm still in the planning part LOL. Actually getting out to do so I think I am chicken LOL.

@ElseAndrecool Год назад

if you are starting in Waikiki I would recommend you take the 23 to Windward Mall (the 23 turns into the 69 at Sea Life Park) and then transfer to route 60 to take it to Haleiwa where you will transfer to route 52 that will take you back to Ala Moana where you can find a way to get to Waikiki from. and if you want to go to Waianae (which you shouldn't) you could transfer to route 51 from 52 at the Mililani Transit Center and take that down to the (you could get off at Pearl Highlands but you would have to walk more) Pearlridge Skyline Station and get on the Skyline or cross the street and get on route 40 if you get on the Skyline then you should ride to the University of Hawai'i Skyline Station where you will get on 40 or C to take you to Waianae. and then to get back to Ala Moana from Waianae just take 40 or C (C will be faster)

Do they have a 3 day pass? They don't take cash, coins, or debit credit cards? I have to take the bus from the airport to my hostel in Waikiki. Please help. So confusing Do you happen to know if there's international fees for using your credit or debit cards? My phone carrier is Verizon. Honolulu charges a fee? Where do you suggest visiting?
