Getting to Downtown Houston from Bush International Airport IAH

Its always an adventure getting from the airport into the downtown of any area. Today we're exploring the options in Houston from Bush International Airport.

There are four options. First is regular bus transit. $1 and about an hour

Second is the Metro Airport Direct non-stop bus service. $15 will get you from Terminal C to Houston's Downtown Transit Center at 815 Pierce Street in a half hour. Here you can connect to Metro's extensive line of bus and rail transportation for easy access to destinations throughout Houston. Details available at ridemetro.org or call 713-635-4000.

I went for easy this trip and got SuperShuttle into downtown. The rate was $24 one way and $44 for roundtrip. It was about a twenty minute wait and then there were the usual million stops around the airport picking up other passengers before we got on the road. More info is available at supershuttle.com or call 1-800-BLUEVAN.

I was told the taxi flat rate into downtown is $50.

I'll be back next weekend. Maybe I will try the Metro Airport Direct for the fun of it.
