Bus from East Side to KOA?

[macuu222]

There's a bus that leaves Hilo terminal between 300am 400am weekdays only that goes to Kona and is the only one that travels on Hwy 19 the whole way. You just tell the driver to stop when he gets to the airport turnoff. Then you have to walk the rest of the way to the terminal. They don't make it easy...but it is doable
