Oʻahu Public Transportation

Honolulu’s award-winning service, TheBus, provides an easy and affordable way to explore the island O‘ahu. TheBus provides a safe, dependable, air-conditioned ride, as riders can sit back, relax, and take in the sights and beauty of the island. To find the best TheBus route to reach your destination, go to TheBus website home page. Google Maps, Transit App, or DaBus App (available from the Apple App Store or Google Play) will also help you find your best route. To ride, please be sure to purchase a HOLO Card, which makes riding TheBus economical and convenient. HOLO cards work like a normal debit card, allowing you to add funds online or at select retail outlets. HOLO cards come with automatic fare capping, which means you’ll get the best value out of riding TheBus! You can check the fares for TheBus here. Please note that credit and debit cards are not accepted on TheBus. TheBus is ADA compliant and accessible to individuals with disabilities. Click here for more information on reduced fares.

Oʻahu’s busy residents and visitors are looking for new ways to get around. Skyline is the latest addition to our island’s transportation options, elevating riders above ground-level congestion to avoid traffic, roadway incidents, and road construction. Public transit gives commuters affordable options to move from place to place. Skyline is the newest member of our multimodal transit ʻohana on Oʻahu. Take TheBus, Handi-Van, and Skyline to and link your trips by riding a bicycle, car, skateboard, scooter, or simply walking.
