I get to the pickup point at 3:41a and the shuttle had left. They had not arranged for additional pickups. I had to request an uber, which was 40 mins away and costed me $188 plus tip. I was just barely able to make it to my flight. This is highly unprofessional and highly unacceptable. I will never use this service again and I will never allow any company I work for to do so either. This was a traumatizing ordeal.

Michael picked us up. He was there when our plane arrived. Had refreshments for us. He gave us a educational tour of the area as we drove out to the island. Piper picked us up. Again, she was early, very helpful and extremely nice. Not sure when or if I am going back to South Padre but if I do I will absolutely be using SPI Shuttle. Thank you.

After speaking with him - it was about an hour drive to the airport - I found out this was his business which truly showed with his customer service, friendliness and willing to go above and beyond. Cool note: He also offered to provide our party with shuttle service for the night if we wanted to go bar hoping for a very reasonable price. If it didn't rain all weekend we would've taken up his offer. (Taxis wanted to charge us $3/person one way) I'll definitely use his services on my next trip to SPI.

We spoke a little and I gave him the address in Los Fresnos, where I was going to be the next morning to park the car. I was relieved the next day, when he showed up....early to pick me up and deliver me to the Brownsville Airport. He was so sweet, funny, and gave me an overview of the area, that was fascinating! We both also tried to " save the world" in our conversation, during the short ride to Brownsville. I will definitely call him again, when I am visiting that beautiful part of Texas.....!!

After they got to spend the day at Sea World at the time of departure...the same 3 buses were there but not the 4th bus AGAIN. The driver never answered their calls. Thank God parents had gone on the trip as well. They had to put children on the other 3 buses and some with parents. The teachers stayed behind because they did not fit. The driver finally arrived another 1 1/2 or 2 hours late again. No answers as to why he was late and no apologies (no remorse whatsoever). I am now praying our childrens teachers arrive safe and sound back home. All parents called the company and they kept hanging up on everyone. NEVER AGAIN!! I will write reviews everywhere I can and I will contact the Better Business Bureau! I had to put put 1 star to be able to post but they deserve NOTHING!!!

I wondered if this listing had already been put up. When Island Metro, South Padre Island's free…read moreshuttle service, operated as the Wave, there was one review by a San Diegan and it is currently displaying "closed." Well, it's not really closed. Its name was changed to Island Metro. And it's still free. There's nothing to go bonkers about with regard to Island Metro, so it's about a 4 star venue. However, I've added a 5th star and I'll explain that later. South Padre Island, Texas sits on a long barrier island about half a mile wide and separated from the mainland, and its sister city of sorts named Port Isabel, by the Laguna Madre. Try to visualize the map and relationship of Miami Beach to Miami. In fact, both of these barrier islands have their southernmost points just slightly south of the causeways with which you reach them. But, unlike Miami Beach, South Padre Island lacks that sort of flash. It's more like Florida's panhandle, which they themselves laughingly call the "Redneck Riviera." South Padre Island does not have any minimally disparaging nicknames that I'm aware of, but is frequently referred to as "the island" or abbreviated as SPI. That SPI lacks flash is mostly a good thing. South Padre Island therefore attracts some visitors who might be budget conscious. And, to make this possible, as well as just make circulation more convenient, a shuttle bus service with fixed routes operates from early morning until 9 p.m. The system's smaller buses, painted light yellow or light blue and with the palm treed logo of South Padre Island, will be seen circulating most of the time during your stay. There are 3 routes, similar to those described in the review for the renamed Wave. One route runs the length of the narrow barrier island, from roughly the South Padre Island Convention Center, where the development thins out, down to the southernmost point of the island. Another route runs most of the length of the island, but instead crosses over the Queen Isabella Memorial Bridge into Port Isabel, going as far as its biggest shopping center. A third and final route runs from further inland from Port Isabel - an area named Laguna Heights - and crosses the causeway to roughly where it intersects Padre Blvd. but does not ply the island. The point is that, with three routes that feature some overlap, one transfer - at the most - can take you to most anywhere in this area you'd need to go. You can therefore get up and down the length of South Padre Island, and venture over to Port Isabel, without a car! You'll just have to look at what the bus's digital display is indicating and/or look at the basic schematic of the simple system displayed on the bus stop placards. And, again, using Island Metro is free. Here's where it gets 5 star good. The route going into Port Isabel, and its Las Palmas Shopping Center, is the terminus for Metro Connect's blue line (check its latest number or nomenclature), which goes into both Brownsville Airport and Brownsville. This line is also free. This thus means that, if using BRO (Brownsville Airport) as your arrival and departure airport, there will be no need to have a car on South Padre Island and its immediate environs. Just take note that, while the Island Metro runs very frequently, the Metro Connect bus from Port Isabel to Brownsville runs with much less frequency, so you'll have to plan around this. Again, you can get by without private transportation while on a trip to this relaxing beachy area. So, to wrap up another overly detailed review, Island Metro starts with 4 stars for each of the letters in the word F-R-E-E. A fifth star is handily added for being able to use Island Metro to connect to another bus (Metro Connect) to get to the Brownsville area, and the airport, and do it all without coin. And, with circulation and density that is a world apart from that of, say, Miami Beach, using Island Metro will be very relaxing, almost as if on intravenous demerol (an inside joke, and not a reality), which is why you go to places like South Padre Island to begin with.
