THE BUS
The Bus is definitely the best bargain on Oahu. For 25c you can go just
about anywhere including around the island. School age children ride for
10c.
If you'd like to take the four hour trip around Oahu, board the #8 bus
to Ala Moana Center requesting a transfer to Kaneohe/Wahiawa (#52) or
Wahiawa/Kaneohe (#52). They both circle the island but in different
directions. If you stay on the same bus for the entire trip, you'll have
to pay another 25c at Ala Moana for the #8 bus which takes you back to
Waikiki. Should you get off during your trip and board another bus,
request a transfer to use at the Ala Moana Center.
=Remember=:
Take exact change. Drivers cannot make change.
Luggage and large parcels are not allowed on the bus.
Waikiki buses are often full, but don't fret. They run every
three minutes.
Most of the buses you will take from Waikiki downtown (toward
Honolulu or Ala Moana Shopping Center) should be boarded on
Kuhio Ave.
If you need a transfer, ask for one when you board the bus, not
when you exit.
