Grab a ride on the trolley


 

 

No golf cart, no car, no problem.

Shuttle buses offer rides around Port Aransas or all the way to Corpus Christi and back for an inexpensive price.

The public transit system is operated by the City of Port Aransas and the Corpus Christi Regional Transportation Authority.

The trolley

The B-Line’s “Route 94 Trolley,” which offers reduced fares for eligible seniors and others for as low as 25 cents, runs a nine-stop route around Port Aransas daily from 10 a.m. until about 6 p.m.

Stops along the route are: Cinnamon Shore,Pioneer RV Park, Access Road 1A, the Leonabelle Turnbull Birding Center, Roberts Point Park, the University of Texas Marine Science Institute, Horace Caldwell Pier, Port Aransas Post Office and Mustang Beach Airport.
