I took the bus from Kona yesterday, standing room by Hilo, then went to UHH, still fairly full, then home...still fairly full, I did stop at the terminal to get the 10 ride tickets... easy to use, just tear off a little taggie like ticket...If you are shopping near the terminal, it might be a good idea to pick up one, if you ever see the potential of using the bus & do not like to pay a little more...
For disabled with documentation (the same needed for the free rides for a few years), the rides, with the reduced rate, are $0.75.... other than very short jaunts, not really enough to toss away the bus....and still way cheaper than it was just a few short years ago, when there were far fewer routes & the charge was based on distance traveled...then the reduced rate was $0.75 for travel within Hilo or Kona proper, all else was higher..
