$1.00 transportation!? YES PLEASE!!!…read more I had never been to Galveston before, but arrived a few days early for a cruise that I was taking that left from the city port. Our hotel was on seawall but we were told that "The Strand" (shopping area) was a place that we needed to check out. We took a Lyft but as we were travelling we noticed the cutest little trolleys passing by. After a quick Google search, we learned that it was public transportation and only cost $1.00 to ride. After we were done shopping, we decided to hop on one for a "tour". We had no idea where we would be going but were up for the adventure. The trolley is BEAUTIFUL inside. Very shiny wood and just so pretty. There was only 2 other people on our ride. It took us back around through the shopping area and then travelled on down to the seawall. It literally stopped a block from our hotel. This was so great. Note- MUST have cash. No change. You drop a $1 bill into a box upon getting onto the trolley.

Island Transit is a small local transit system that operates the local bus and street car/trolley…read moresystem. The system has purchased new buses and shelters in recent years and has also expanded there network. Most visitors will find the system more then large enough to get around Galveston however it is by no means a major system. Recently the system had purchased modern buses to replace the aging system, however demand outpaced there budget so some older buses from other systems were purchased for cheap and fast. The system also operates the popular street car system. The system is mostly for tourist use however more recently they have expanded they main line to go to the UTMB medical district.

NEVER EVER TRUST THESE PEOPLE!!!!! They are the worst! If you have a reservation with them, more…read morethan likely they won't pick you up. They claim that if you make an appointment one week prior to pick up then they will pick you up. For one thing, you only get a 4 hour window of time to set up the appointment (8 AM-12 PM). During this time, most people, including myself are at work. If they want to use this short time frame then they should pick up the phone IMMEDIATLY. Instead, you wait forever for someone to pick up the phone. Eventually, you have to come to the conclusion that they WILL NOT pick up the phone, you leave a message that never gets returned. The one thing that is worse than them not honoring your reservations is the staff itself. The dispatcher always has an attitude. She answers the phone in an informal way. She doesn't fix the problem at hand. The dispatcher over reservations is just as terrible, if even worse. She never calls back to confirm appointments and therefore, on the day someone needs to be picked up, they are left there at home or stranded waiting for a bus that will never come. And when the bus does come, don't expect it to be there on time. They are almost ALWAYS LATE. The bus drivers are good people, though. It is never their fault. It's whoever is controlling the reserved bus schedule. If you ever need a ride to wherever you need to go, DO NOT trust this company to pick you up. They will NOT pick you up even though you are in the right and they are in the wrong.
