Heads-up for those coming to Houston...

[cto]

Unless you want to pay $84 for a cab ride from the airport, find another way to get downtown.

They have Uber in Houston? $85? Holy cow, reminds me of the Fort Lauderdale airport taxis.

Heh. Yeah its a pretty good distance tho. Cabs are crazy expensive here though it is true!!

No idea if this is any good or not but you can get a super shuttle from the airport to the JW Marriot downtown for $23

I'm pretty sure that was CTO's subtle way of offering free rides to anyone that needs one!

So this is planet Houston...

They have buses that go from the airport to downtown, I believe

Also, check which airport you are flying into...I rented my car at Houston International but am flying into Houston Hobby...

Fortunately, I caught it now and not on Friday after we land...

Is there public transportation from Galleria area to festivities?

 

[MSOrange]

Bump!!!!

I like your enthusiasm but please stop unless you truly have something to add.

What I was adding was getting it off halfway down the second page to where it could be seen by far more people(and maybe possibly addressed a bit more). I suppose if the mods deem this inappropriate, they can feel free to delete my post and bury the thread again. I'm sorry if trying to help these people out for something that is important and time sensitive offended you, as it was not my intent. It might actually be useful to members if this thread was pinned for about a day...

Saving money and avoiding DUI and having a sense of peace about one's stay is kind of important, and Cuse final fours dont happen every day. Im not sure how many members read down a page and a half. I sure as heck normally don't.

You can take a bus from Galleria to the Red Line light rail which runs right to NRG Stadium.

Uber is quoting 115-125 to the Galleria area.

My apologies. I thought you were just having a bumpalooza to goof around.

 

[RandygoCuse]

That's expensive. Somebody should mention to Houston that there is a problem. But I'm not sure how to phrase it.

 

[Briancuse]

I picked the wrong line of work, I should have been a cab driver in Houston.

Or Syracuse. I took a cab from the RRLBees Transportation Center to Hancock a couple of years ago. $23.50.

This is why you get a car in Houston. This isn't NYC or LA or even Chicago. The city footprint is huge and the public transportation is lean. We love our cars (and trucks) here in Houston.
