Bus & Trolley Travel

Greyhound connects San Antonio with cities in Texas and beyond. The local bus line, Via Metropolitan Transit, serves the city and airport. Local fare is $1 (express $2). A one-day pass is $3.75 and includes service on streetcars, which weave through downtown and come every 10 minutes.

Traveling around downtown San Antonio without a car? Then you'll want to hop on one of VIA Metropolitan Transit's four downtown streetcar lines. The streetcars hit all of the major downtown attractions, including the Alamo, El Mercado/Market Square, HemisFair Park, the Institute of Texan Cultures, the King William Historical District, Rivercenter Mall, and La Villita. Best of all, a one-day pass only costs $3.75. For more information, visit www.viainfo.net/BusService/Streetcar.aspx.
