For better or for worse, many of us have become somewhat immune to news of rising gas prices. Yes its hard on our wallets and we do what we can to consolidate trips to the market, bank, mall, etc. When traveling, however, you may not be aware of gas (money) saving options available to you, so here are a few to contemplate when visiting Oahu.
1 Consider renting a car only for the days set aside to tour and sightsee the island. This will save on the rental car cost as well as the daily self-parking (approx. $18/day) or valet fee charged by many Waikiki hotels.
2 Use the
RED LINE - Historic Honolulu Sightseeing line makes stops at the Honolulu Academy of Arts, Aloha Tower Marketplace and Chinatown
BLUE LINE - Scenic Honolulu Sightseeing line takes you past Diamond Head, Makapuu Hanauma Bay and far as Sea Life Park
YELLOW LINE - Local Honolulu Shopping Line takes you to various local destinations throughout Kakaako including Ward Centers, Farmers' Market, Ward Warehouse, Don Quijote, Ross Dress for Less and Ala Moana Center
PINK LINE - Ala Moana/Waikiki Shopping Line runs every 8 minutes to Ala Moana Center
The current Online Specials from Waikiki Trolley ... Purchase a 4-day / 4-line adult ticket for $43.00 per adult (retail $52). Discounted rates are also available for children (4-11 years), seniors and military.
3 Ride The Bus ... Our mass transit system is by city bus ... called TheBus, it has more than 90 routes and 4,200 stops around Oahu, and is privately operated. The bus system is used regularly by locals and visitors and
is a quick and inexpensive way to get around without renting your own car - especially if you dont know your way around.
TheBus goes to all the major visitor attractions including Pearl Harbor Memorial and Honolulu International Airport (be sure to check their rules about carrying on luggage as they have strict guidelines).
One-Way Fare: $2.00
Transfer: One (1) FREE transfer with each paid cash fare
Monthly Pass: $40.00
Unlimited usage for regular and Express! service during the calendar month purchased. The essential to budget travel is to approach in front. When it occurs to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved trips and/or going to see new destinations we have never been before, the actuality of cost and budgeting is often in the back of our minds. Preparation and expending our travel budget properly is a consideration for most families. Lowering consuming and expenses, while still experiencing your vacation to its fullest, is the key to certain achievements and fiscal liability. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The reasoning behind protecting money while travelling is simple: Even if your personal finances is extremely small, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also keeping in mind that while traveling, no matter whether on a budget or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a big vacation or travel costs!. Excludes special service buses such as the FootballExpress!
If this option sounds appealing and you will be on Oahu for a length of time, purchasing the monthly bus pass might make a lot of sense.
